Vetted by our experts
When you think of a Scottish castle in The Lowlands, this is probably how you imagined it, with ancient stone walls and huge open fireplaces – and is that a hint of a turret? This is indeed a 16th Century tower, extended into an adjoining byre. The unusual thing here is it's intimacy. With just four bedrooms in the tower, and a fifth in the other part of the home. There are character features in every room, but its interior is more contemporary than you might expect.

We promise expert-vetted homes, total transparency and exceptional service.

About Roxburgh, Ettrick and Lauderdale
Rolling hills dotted with sheep, a patchwork of fields and the ribbon of the River Tweed cutting through the land make up this away-from-it-all part of the Scottish Borders.
