Hartwoodmyres


Teviotia, Vulgo, Tivedail

There may have been a tower at Hartwoodmyres but its exact location has been lost.

William Scott of Hartwoodmyres is on record in 1593.

I have placed the site of the tower at Hartwoodmyres House, where there is a reused lintel carved with the date 1695, pending further research.
