Hawkshaw Castle is a medieval fortified residence located in Peeblesshire in the Scottish Borders. The castle dates from the late medieval period and survives as a tower house, a common defensive dwelling form amongst the Scottish gentry and minor nobility of that era. The structure reflects the architectural traditions of Border strongholds, built to provide both residential accommodation and protection during a period of considerable regional conflict. Its survival as a physical monument contributes to understanding the settlement patterns and military architecture of the late medieval Scottish Borders.
