Hoddom Tower 2
Hoddom Tower is a 16th century towerhouse, built on rising ground in the Annan valley south of Lockerbie. The castle is basically a massive L-planned building, quite the largest of its period in the Borders, and consists of a main block (on the right) rising four storeys to a finely corbelled-out parapet, and a stair wing that rises two storeys higher, where it terminates with a parapet enclosing a flat roof, some 72ft above the ground. The top floor of the tower was added in the early 1600s. It is not, to my eye, an attractive building, but is nonetheless a genuine Scottish fortified house.
