Muirhouse of Libberton


Pont 34: Glasgow and the county of Lanark
Timothy Pont, c.1583-1614map image courtesy of NLS

A substantial five storey tower named Moorhous is marked on Pont’s late 16th century map, but nothing of it now remains.

I have placed the site of the tower at Muirhouse farm pending further research.
