Hillslap Tower (1 of 6)
Hillslap is much the most interesting of the three towers around Langshaw. It is the only one of the three to get an entry in Tranter's "Fortified House in Scotland" and the only one to get a proper entry in MacGibbon & Ross' "Castellated & Domestic Architecture of Scotland" although the other two rate a mention under the Hillslap entry.
This old photo, taken in 1930, shows Hillslap as it stood until recently, a roofless ruin. Colmslie Tower can be seen beyond and just to the left.
