What is recorded here

Caberston Tower stood as a medieval fortified house for the Traquair Stewarts in the Scottish Borders, though no visible traces remain today. William Stewart of Caverston rose from these lands to become captain of Dumbarton Castle, navigating royal favour and dangerous politics under James VI. The tower itself has vanished into earth and memory, leaving only the shadow of a family that moved between border strength and courtly intrigue.
