Tower of Hallbar — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Hallbar Tower stands in South Lanarkshire as a narrow five-storey stone house built in the mid-16th century. Its north gable contains a dovcot whose pigeon holes sit behind a chimney, keeping the birds warm through winter. The Lockharts of Lee still own it, and the tower is let as holiday accommodation after restoration.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Tower of Hallbar as Dovecot (medieval), Tower House (medieval). 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.
