Huildie's Tower (site of)

Huildie’s Tower was a castle not far from Ayton Castle, taking its name from the owner, Huildie.

Until I’ve managed to do any more research, I’ve placed it at the present property named Huldies Cottage. It was probably destroyed when the Earl of Surrey invaded Scotland in 1487.
