Tour Scotland 4K travel video of Sauchie Tower on history visit to Clackmannanshire. The tower is located by the village of Fishcross, just North of Sauchie and 2 miles North of Alloa, close to the River Devon. The lands of Sauchie were granted by King Robert the Bruce to Henri de Annand, Sheriff of Clackmannan, in 1321. In 1431 Sir James Schaw of Greenock, Comptroller to the King, acquired the lands of Sauchie when he married the heiress Mary de Annand. Sauchie Tower was built by Sir James soon after. His son was appointed Governor of Stirling Castle in 1460. The Schaws held the land into the 17th century, with several members of the family serving in the Scottish royal household.
