What is recorded here
Plora Burn holds a medieval tower house and a possible garden beside a working farmstead in the Scottish Borders. The stones have watched water flow and people tend land for generations. Whether the garden still drops seeds or only remembers them, the burn keeps moving around the old walls.

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.
