Drumlanrig's
Tower is a stone L-plan tower, built on the site of an older tower. It has kept
many of its original features but it lost the L-shape when to give more space,
it was extended and the "corner" filled in. The two parts can clearly
be seen at the front of the building and the tower can be accessed up to the parapet.
Nearby is Hawick Castle and 16 miles south is Hermitage
Castle.
Drumlanrig's Tower is located in the Hawick town centre, on High Street. 11 miles west of Jedburgh, on the B6358-A698 or 43 miles north of Carlisle, on the A7.
The site is owned by Roxburgh District Council and has been redeveloped as a tourist centre. It is open daily March to May and October 10:00-5:00pm, Sunday 12:00-5:00pm. June to September 10:00-5:30pm or 6:00pm, Sunday 12:00-5:00pm. There are car parks nearby.
