There are no visible remains of 'Andrew Battyes' tower which is noted on a map of 1590 standing on the E bank of the White Esk. It is probably to be identified with an unnamed tower shown in Blaeu's Atlas between and near to the confluence of the White Esk and the Rae Burn, and may have stood in the vicinity of Raeburnfoot steading (NY29NE 36).
