SMAILHOLM TOWER | This TOWER Inspired Walter Scott, and DEFENDED against the English | Walking Tour

Smailholm Tower, situated in the Scottish Borders, was built around 1450. This medieval tower served primarily as a defensive structure during a tumultuous period in Scottish history. Originally constructed as a fortified home, it later became a symbol of the region's rich history.

Sir Walter Scott, the renowned Scottish writer, spent time here as a child and drew inspiration from the tower and its surroundings, featuring it in his literary works. Today, Smailholm Tower stands as a well-preserved historical monument and is open to the public, offering visitors a glimpse into Scotland's past and its cultural significance.
