What is recorded here

Kirntoun stands in the Scottish Borders as a possible medieval tower house, its stones still catching the wind long after its builders vanished. The exact shape of its rooms and the names of the people who lived inside have faded, leaving only a point on the landscape and a suggestion of height. It may have watched valleys, stored grain or hidden families during troubled years, but that much remains wonder rather than fact. What is certain is that the ground still holds the shape of a house, waiting for someone to imagine the lives it kept.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Kirntoun as House (period Unassigned), Tower House (medieval)(possible). 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.
