Kirkandrews Tower

Kirkandrews Tower is situated near Longtown in the debateable lands of the Borders. It was built by Thomas Graham around 1550. The Grahams were a reiver family noted for their acts of lawlessness. The Grahams played a major part in the rescue of Kinmont Willie, a notorious reiver, from Carlisle Castle.. Near the Tower is the Church of St Andrew where many Graham family members are buried
