To the tower with her!

We had a trip to Dryhope Tower and then onto Moffat where we caught up with some friends.

Info about the tower from Mr W Pedia...
'The tower was likely to have been raised according to a statute of the Parliament of Scotland in 1535, that required large landholders in the Borderlands to build barmkins of stone and lime, sixty square feet in area and with walls of one ell* thickness and six ells in height for the resett and defense of him, his tennents, and his gudis in troublous tyme'
*One ell is equivalent to six hand breadths as I'm sure you knew...
