Seafield Tower is a late medieval defensive structure located in Fife, Scotland, dating to the sixteenth century. The tower represents a substantial stone-built fortification characteristic of the period, constructed to serve both domestic and protective functions for its occupants. It stands as evidence of the architectural traditions and security concerns that shaped the design of tower houses in lowland Scotland during the early modern period. The monument survives as an important example of late medieval construction techniques and the settlement patterns of Fife's feudal aristocracy.
