Torwoodlee Tower is a ruined tower house - sort of half way between a house and a castle, built for fortification and defence as much as it was built for habitatio. This ruin - recently repaired and made safe - was built in 1601 by one George Hoppringhill of Pringle, and it's sited on the ruins of an older fortification of unknown origin.
Despite its ruined status, the Tower is still an impressive sight - and it's still possible to glean some of the power and defences it would've mustered in its hey day.
