Tour Scotland Photograph Sauchie Tower

Tour Scotland photograph of Sauchie Tower, Scotland. Sauchie is a village in Clackmannanshire, Scotland. The name means the place or field of the willows. The land originally belonged to Clan Campbell, being mentioned in connection with Cailean Mór and Gilleasbaig of Menstrie. In 1321 Robert the Bruce granted the lands of Sauchie to Henry de Annand, former Sherriff of Clackmannan. A tower was built in 1335, and the present Sauchie Tower is on the same site. The extant tower was built before 1431 when Mary de Annand, the co-heiress to the estate, married Sir James Schaw of Greenock. The tower is all that remains of the village which developed within its protective radius. In the early 1700's the Schaw family moved from the tower to the more comfortable Newtonschaw.
