What is recorded here
Heugh Head is a possible medieval tower house hidden in the Scottish Borders, its exact position marked only to the nearest hundred metres. That vague boundary suits the place, leaving room for darkness, memory and invention. It may have been a home, a trap or a marker, but the uncertainty keeps it alive instead of reducing it to a dead fact.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Heugh Head as Tower House (medieval)(possible). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
