What is recorded here
Balormie stands in Lossiemouth, Moray, where a medieval tower house may have watched the coasts before human memory faded. It is not certain that the tower still exists, but the name remains alive in local identity. The uncertainty does not weaken the place; it suggests that Balormie has resisted easy description, keeping part of itself hidden like a room behind a sealed door.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Balormie as Tower House (medieval)(possible). 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.
Balormie Tower is a medieval tower house located in Fife, Scotland, and was likely built in the 15th or 16th century by the Leslie family, a prominent Scottish noble lineage. It is remembered as an example of a fortified domestic residence reflecting the turbulent feudal history of the region.
