Maxwell (site of)

There would once have been a tower representing the seat of the barony of Maxwell but nothing of it now remains and its exact location has been lost.

In March 1312 the manor of Maxwell was restored to Herbert Maxwell by Edward I of England having been confiscated on account of him being a Scottish rebel.

I have placed the site of the tower at the known location of the medieval village of Maxwell, located within Springwood Park, pending further research.
