<p>The so called 'storehouse' was 64 feet long. Curiously, its long walls are not parallel, narrowing from 23 ft. 9 in. at the north end to 21 ft at the south end - which must have made the roof carpenter's job a challenge! The basement, for which alone there is evidence, is entered from the west and is lit by roughly formed slits in all four walls. There is an aumbry in the N gable. Below the vault there has been a loft. <br />
<br />
The north (near) end of the storehouse is the gable wall with the window in it, in the centre of the photo. Descriptions of the castle state that there was a connecting wall between it and the tower, which is just off photo to the right, behind the ash tree, however, as this photo shows, there was evidently another building, built off the storehouse, filling this north-east corner of the complex.</p>

<p>Tushielaw consisted of 4 buildings set around an irregularly shaped courtyard. <br />
<br />
The great pile of stones on the left was where the tower stood, not particularly big and almost square at 24 ft from N to S by 29 ft from E to W. <br />
<br />
Next, on the east side, perched over the hillside below, is a building that is usually referred to as a storehouse. It was vaulted, which suggests it was contemporary with the tower, and while the vaulted basement may have been used as a store, it would seem probable that, having gone to the trouble of building a substantial vaulted building, its purpose was more than just a mere store. The tower being very small, it is probably that the family's retainers would have slept elsewhere - either here, or if the Scotts preferred this more spacious building for themselves, in the next building . . .<br />
<br />
The building that enclosed most of the west side of the small courtyard (the uphill side), is now only indicated by grassy, but quite visible footings, as indicated on the photo.<br />
<br />
There was a 4th building, smaller than the others and off the photo to the right, which closed in the south end of the courtyard. Early maps show it as being connected to the 'store'.<br />
<br />
The grassy ridge in the foreground is perhaps the line of the barmkin wall.</p>

<p>Tushielaw Tower is perched on a small terrace on the side of a hill with the same name, 500 yards and some way above the junction of the B709 and the B711. Hidden in the trees just beyond the road junction is the Tushielaw Inn - an ancient 'watering hole'! This view looks north-east, in the direction the Ettrick Water heads to join the Tweed.</p>
