Glenrusco


Twee-dail with the Sherifdome of Etterik-Forest called also SelkirkJoan Blaeu, 1654image courtesy of NLS

Glenrusco is marked as a tower on Blaeu’s mid-17th century map of Tweeddale, based on Pont’s late 16th century work.

I have placed the location of the tower at Glenriska pending further research.
