Whitton Tower stands in the Scottish Borders as a medieval tower house, its stones unchanged since people first climbed its stairs. It is the kind of place where darkness comes quickly, where a door might still catch on its hinge and where a lantern would tremble in the narrow room. Whether it watched a road, hid a family or simply endured the weather, it remains tall enough to be remembered and quiet enough to be forgotten.
