What is recorded here
Bush is a possible medieval tower house hidden in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. Its exact boundaries remain unclear, but the name suggests a tall, stubborn presence rising from the local landscape. People may have built it to watch roads, store grain or simply declare that a family belonged there. Much of its life is lost, leaving behind a placeholder rather than a clear story.
