What is recorded here

Mannerston is a medieval tower house in Falkirk, Scotland, still marked on official maps despite the absence of public entry. Its stone walls may have shaken during border raids or simply endured ordinary storms, but the distinction no longer matters because survival belongs to the building, not memory. People can stand beside it, read its name and imagine the chambers above, while the house keeps its own counsel.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Mannerston 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.
Mannerston Tower, a medieval tower house in Scotland, was likely built in the late 15th or early 16th century by a local landholding family, though specific builders or owners are not definitively recorded. It is remembered as a typical example of a defensive residence in the Scottish Borders region during a period of frequent conflict.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
