What is recorded here
Old Graitney stands in Dumfries and Galloway as a medieval tower house, its stones marked by centuries rather than a single dramatic event. The structure still belongs to the landscape, waiting for human memory to give it shape.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Old Graitney 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.
Old Graitney was a medieval tower house, likely built in the 15th or 16th century by a local landholding family in the Graitney area of Sutherland. It is remembered as part of Scotland's historic defensive and rural architectural heritage.
