Barjarg Tower
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barjarg Tower is an L-plan tower house probably dating from 1680, four miles south-east of Penpont, Dumfriesshire, Scotland.[1] It is attached to a 19th-century mansion.[1]
The land appears to have been given to Thomas Grierson by the Earl of Morton in 1587.[2] His son John Grierson and his wife Grizel Kilpatrick built the tower.[1] Subsequent owners included the judge Lord Tinwald and the minister Andrew Hunter.[1]
