What is recorded here

Baurch stands as a medieval tower house in Dumfries and Galloway, its exact position still debated within a hundred metres on official charts. That small uncertainty suits a place built to watch borders rather than be watched. It may have housed a family proud enough to refuse clarity, or a guardian who valued distance over description.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Baurch as Tower House (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
