Northhouse Tower (site of)

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

The exact site of the tower is now lost, and Historic Environment Scotland just give a very general grid reference, so I’ve placed the site of the tower at Old Northhouse Cottages pending further research.
