Wreaths Tower

Tower House (medieval)

What is recorded here

Wreaths Tower rose three or four storeys above the Stirlingshire routes, a private stronghold for local gentry rather than a royal fortress. Its thick rubble walls and narrow stair served a household that valued comfort as much as defence, but fashion and stone-robbing reduced it to low fragments. The remaining masonry still outlines the tower's footprint in open farmland, preserving the shape of a home that once watched the land and trade pass by.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Wreaths Tower as 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.
Wreaths Tower is a medieval tower house located in Scotland, likely built during the late 15th or early 16th century by a local landholding family, though specific builders or occupants are not well documented. It is remembered as an example of the defensive and domestic architecture typical of the Scottish Borders during the medieval period.
