Old Photograph Lochhouse Tower Scotland
Old photograph of Lochhouse Tower near Moffat in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. Lochhouse Tower stands on low lying ground a mile South of Moffat, and was probably built in the 16th century by the Johnstones of Corehead, in Annandale. It was perhaps built about the time of the Act of Parliament of 1535; it is mentioned in 1567 as being occupied by a Johnstone. It is oblong on plan, with rounded corners. It measures 37ft by 27ft, with walls 6ft thick; the basement is vaulted. It stands three storeys high, with a flat roof; only the South gable of the garret remains. The interior has been much altered, though some original details have been revealed by recent work.
