Spedlin's Tower
©2011 Gazetteer for Scotland

A former stronghold of the Jardines of Applegarth, Spedlins Tower is situated by the River Annan, 4 miles (6.5 km) northwest of Lockerbie (Dumfries and Galloway). A 15th-century building re-roofed and re-occuipied in the 1960s, Spedlins had been a seat of the Jardines since the late 12th Century. The tower became a ruin after the Jardines built a new mansion, Jardine Hall, for themselves nearby.
