WARDHOUSE TOWER, a typical defensive Scottish borders tower in the parish of Annan, is built in a strong position above the Kirtle Water. Some years ago the building fell, through neglect and decay, but was immediately re-erected as we see it now. The staircase is situated in the corner opposite the door and the upper floor windows are about 2 feet square, placed in the centre of arched recesses. Only one side of the hall fireplace remains.
