Lamington Tower is a late medieval tower house situated in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, dating to the fifteenth or sixteenth century. The structure represents a typical defensive residence of the Scottish Borders and upper Clyde valley region, built during a period of considerable border instability and clan-based territorial control. The tower's robust stone construction and compact plan reflect the practical requirements of landholding families who required both domestic accommodation and fortified protection. Though now ruinous, the surviving stonework provides evidence of the architectural conventions employed by minor nobility and lairds in medieval Scotland.
