Smailholm Tower, one in a string of Borders keeps guarding the Tweed valley it was built not later than the early 15th century, when it was held by the powerful Pringle family,four of whom were killed at the Battle of Flodden in 1513. The tower passed, in 1745, to the Scotts of Harden, but they left the structure in 1800. The tower fell into a perilous condition but was partially restored in the 1980s and is now in the care of Historic Scotland.
