What is recorded here

Woodside House stands in North Ayrshire, Scotland, carrying the shape of a medieval tower beneath a later country-house identity. Its stones may have watched fields, storms and passing carts for centuries before anyone wrote them down. The house does not need a date to feel old, nor does it need permission to remember the people who lived inside it.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Woodside House as Country House (period Unassigned), 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.
Woodside House, a medieval tower house in Scotland, is significant as a surviving example of early fortified domestic architecture in the region. Its exact builder and date are not recorded, but it reflects the defensive and social needs of Scottish landowners during the late medieval period.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
