Wallace's Tower is a late medieval tower structure located in Roxburghshire, Scotland. The tower dates to the fifteenth or sixteenth century and stands as a substantial stone-built fortification typical of the border region during this period. It is associated with the Wallace family, one of the significant landholding families of the Scottish Borders, and represents the domestic and defensive architecture characteristic of minor nobility and gentry in the region during the late medieval period. The structure survives as an important example of border tower architecture from an era when such fortified residences served both residential and protective functions against cross-border raiding.
