Amisfield Tower

Built in the 17th century and also known as Hempisfield Tower, Amisfield Tower represents the final phase of traditional Scottish tower house construction when comfort and elegance became as important as defense. The tower's continued use as a residence demonstrates the enduring functionality of Scottish castle architecture and the successful adaptation of medieval building forms for modern living. Its preservation through continuous occupation shows how historic Scottish buildings can maintain their vitality while serving their original residential purpose. The tower stands as a testament to the quality of Scottish craftsmanship and the foresight of builders who created structures capable of serving families across multiple centuries.
