Lochurd


A map of the Clyde and Tweed basins
Robert Gordon, c. 1636 – 1652map image courtesy of NLS

Lochurd is marked as a tower on Gordon’s mid-17th century map and was a property of the Scotts of Buccleuch in the 15th century.

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