Milsington (site of)

Milsington was a tower or bastle that was demolished and removed by Robert Scott of Harwood in or around 1663.

The “chief messuage” of Milsington is mentioned in a sasine of 1453.

Foundations of a building may still be traced on a natural terrace overlooking the Borthwick Water.
