Langshaw Tower is a late medieval fortified structure located in Roxburghshire in the Scottish Borders. The tower forms part of a defensive settlement pattern characteristic of the Anglo-Scottish border region during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, when fortified dwellings provided necessary protection during periods of cross-border raid and conflict. The associated structures visible at the site reflect the domestic and agricultural functions of a border settlement, with evidence of occupation spanning the late medieval period. The monument represents an important example of the architectural response to the security concerns that dominated settlement practices in the frontier zone between England and Scotland.
