Wallace's
Tower is a 16th century stone L-plan tower house, founded by the Kerrs of Cessford.
The main block has a vaulted basement, with a wing containing a wide spiral stair
and an additional square tower, at the south corner. Sadly the tower, only stands
to the height of the first floor. 2 miles north is Roxburgh
Castle and 8 miles south-west is Timpendean Tower.
Wallace's Tower is located in the Roxburgh village, by the railway embankment. 4 miles south-west of Kelso, on the A699 and local roads.
The site is visible from a public footpath, which runs passed the tower to the River Teviot.
There is limited car parking nearby.
