What is recorded here

Thorlieshope Tower stands in the Scottish Borders as a medieval tower house, its stones marked by centuries rather than a single dramatic event. The exact location is known, but the chamber is not automatically open to everyone. That restriction preserves the tower instead of exhausting it.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Thorlieshope Tower as Tower House (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
