What is recorded here

Fulton Tower stands as a ruined sixteenth-century tower house near Jedburgh, its L-plan walls still rising eighteen feet above the Rule Water. English forces under Lord Hertford burned the castle during the Rough Wooing in 1545, leaving behind only rough rubble, two oval gunloops, and a ghost of a fireplace. The Homes and later Turnbulls called this place home, yet no entrance remains for modern visitors to find. What is left is a sharp-edged shadow of domestic life, stripped by war and time.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Fulton Tower as Tower House (16th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Fulton Tower is a 16th-century tower house located in Scotland, built as a defensive residence during a period of political instability and clan conflict. Its survival and architectural features make it an important example of Scottish domestic architecture from that era.
