"The small Tower House at Whitslaid, on the banks of the Leader Water, was the seat of the Lauder family. The first mention of the site was made in the fourteenth century and suggested the Manor had been in existence for an extended period; a charter dated 30 June 1371 refers to the "ancient manor of Whitslade"." (from castlesfortsbattles.co.uk)
This is just a small ruin but still worth a quick look around, has a kind of hobbit-home feel about it. You can go up the steps through the doorway but they don't really lead anywhere. This site is not maintained so be careful if you visit and don't be surprised if it's a bit overgrown...
