Auchenames Tower

Tower House (medieval)

What is recorded here

Auchenames Tower stands in Renfrewshire as a medieval tower house, its bones old enough to predate most local memory. The stone may have sheltered families through storms, births and quiet winters, while the surrounding land shifted around it. Nothing in the known facts claims the inside is open, so the tower keeps its distance and waits for someone willing to knock rather than break through.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Auchenames Tower 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.
Auchenames Tower is a medieval tower house located in Scotland, though the specific builder and date of construction are not recorded. It is remembered as an example of the defensive and domestic architecture typical of the late medieval period in the Scottish Borders.
