What is recorded here

Hunthill is a mid-18th century house and gate piers in the Scottish Borders, possibly built around a medieval tower house. It belonged to the Rutherford clan, whose junior line held Chatto and Hunthill after the main branch failed. The land may have changed hands several times before the current buildings appeared, layering old defences beneath later domestic pride.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Hunthill as Gate Pier(s) (mid 18th Century), House (mid 18th Century), Tower House (medieval)(possible). 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.

Hunthill in Scotland includes a medieval Tower House, likely built by a local landholding family, with later 18th-century additions such as a House and Gate Pier. It is remembered for its layered history, reflecting both medieval defensive architecture and later estate development.
