Sir Walter Scott came here regularly as a child and Smailholm Tower was then on the grounds of his grandfather's farm. She has inspired the artist a lot and appears in his poem Marmion. This 15th century fortified tower, perched on a rock above a lake, is a very evocative image of the Borders, of which it is a symbol. It is 20 metres high and has walls 2.50 metres thick, spread over four floors. From its imposing summit, you can see as far as the English castle of Bamburgh on a clear day.
