What is recorded here

Cormiston Towers stands in South Lanarkshire as a possible medieval tower house, its exact boundary hidden beneath grass and time. The stone may have watched fields, resisted raids or simply marked a family's pride, though no clear event survives to confirm which. A person could have climbed its stairs during storm or feast, carrying butter, fear or love into rooms now lost. The land still holds that shape, waiting for someone to imagine the hands that built it.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Cormiston Towers 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.
