What is recorded here

Fulford Tower rose in the medieval period, then Woodhouselee reopened the same land as a post-medieval country house. The tower gave birth to the house, not the other way around. Stone remembered the first build, brick and timber answered it later. Both still stand inside Midlothian, carrying one continuous life instead of two separate stories.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Woodhouselee, Tower of Fulford as Country House (post Medieval), 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.

The Tower of Fulford, part of the Woodhouselee estate, was built in the late 16th century by the Scott family of Harden, a prominent Borders family. It is remembered for its strategic position and as an example of late medieval tower house architecture in the Scottish Borders.
