Preston Tower
The tower was built by Sir Robert Harbotttle in 1392 and is one of the few survivors of 37 castles and 78 pele towers listed in 1415. The tunnel-vaulted rooms remain unaltered and provide a realistic picture of the grim way of life under the constant threat of Border Reivers. Two rooms are furnished in contemporary style and there are displays of historic and local information.
