Tower House (medieval)

What is recorded here

Wreaths Tower was a private fortified residence for local gentry near Falkirk, built in the 15th or early 16th century. Its thick rubble walls and narrow stair served a laird and household, balancing domestic comfort with gunloops for sudden danger. Fashion and stone-robbing reduced it to low fragments, but the surviving masonry still outlines the rectangular footprint that once rose through the Lowlands.
