Black Tower of Drumlanrig stone plaque

Hawick, Scottish Borders, Scotland, United Kingdom

Incorporated within these walls is the Black Tower of Drumlanrig, Hawick residence of the Douglas family and later of the Scotts of Buccleuch. This tower built in the 16th century on an L-shaped plan almost certainly replaced a still earlier tower which in its turn has been preceded by the late 12th

century wooden tower of the Lovels on the mote.
