Today, with the exception of the Tower Hotel and other features, virtually nothing has survived of the pre-Victorian town (RCAM, 1956, 45). The Tower Hotel is a large three storeyed tenement situated on the Tower Knowe at the south end of High Street. It was reconstructed in 1677 as a dwelling for the Queensberry Family derived from the remains of the 'house and tower of Ha wick' which was on record in the second half of the sixteenth century (RCAM, 1956, 135, 6).
