(NT 4827 3790) Buckholm Tower (NR)
OS 6" map (1971)
Buckholm Tower, built in 1582, has recently become ruinous. It is three storeys and a garret high, with a small stair-tower projecting E from the main block. Its vaulted ground floor has been entered from a door in the E wall, and does not communicate with the upper floors. It has been attached to a rectangular barmkin, of which only the SW corner now survives, showing the entrance, above which there has been a gatehouse. A ruinous outbuilding stands within the enclosure, immediately adjoining the entrance.
RCAHMS 1956, visited 1933; N Tranter 1962
