Scope and Content Interior of Lennox Tower, Currie, Edinburgh Lennox Tower, once one of six fortified houses in the valley of the Water of Leith, was a 15th-century tower reputedly built by the Earl of Lennox, father-in-law of Mary Queen of Scots. The ruins of this rectangular tower, once a heavily fortified house, stand in the grounds of the mid-19th-century house of Lymphoy. The tower has a door at the north-east corner, and a stair in the thickness of the wall just inside. Mary Queen of Scots was said to visit her father-in-law at the tower 'when love was young and Darnley kind'. It later belonged to King James VI. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
