Lennox Tower is a tower house situated in Midlothian, Scotland, dating to the medieval period. The structure represents the domestic and defensive architecture characteristic of Scottish lowland fortifications, with its compact vertical design typical of towers erected from the fifteenth century onwards. As a tower house, it would have served both as a residence for a local family of means and as a statement of territorial control within the region. The monument survives as evidence of the architectural traditions and social hierarchies of medieval Lowland Scotland.
