What is recorded here

Posso Tower rises in Peeblesshire as a medieval tower house, its stones built to watch the border and hold a household safe during centuries of cross-border conflict. The main tower and smaller buildings formed one defensive complex, likely crowded with people, firelight and fear when raiders came. It still stands as a scheduled monument, preserving the shape of a life lived under the constant threat of violence.
