<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/62445171@N00/55037291606/" title="Tushielaw Tower (3)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55037291606_8bec32820c_m.jpg" width="240" height="92" alt="Tushielaw Tower (3)" /></a></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>

<p>A monochrome image of Melrose Abbey, Roxburghshire, in the Scottish Borders.<br />
The use of monochrome is an attempt to hide the temporary galvanised steel fences that surrounded the abbey while it was undergoing renovation. The Abbey dating back to the twelfth century stands largely in ruins following successive wars during the sixteenth and seventeenth century. There is an excellent museum in the grounds and is well worth a visit. There is a reasonable summary of its rich history documented in Wikipedia.<br />
