Malcolm Canmore's Tower.
As the Tower Burn winds through Pittencrieff Glen, a public park lying immediately west of Dunfermline Abbey, it makes at one point a loop to the west, skirting on three sides the rocky eminence known as the Tower Hill. On this, at a height of some 70 feet above the stream, are the ruins of the building which has given both burn and hill a name. They consist of the core of the west and south walls of a rectangular structure, which has measured some 33 feet by 12 ½ feet within walls about 10 feet in thickness. The facing stones have been removed, and there is nothing to give any indication of date.
