What is recorded here

Coome rises in Dumfries and Galloway as a medieval tower house, its stones marked by age rather than new life. The name resists modern memory, but the structure remains clear: a tall defensive home built when local power needed watching and weapons within reach. It may have served a family, a tenant or a small military post, though no surviving claim is written here. What is known is that coome still stands as a recorded tower house in southern Scotland.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records 'coome' as Tower House (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
