Corsbie Tower

Corsbie Tower

Corsbie Tower (or "Corsbie Castle") seems to have belonged at an early period to the Cranstouns of Oxenford, and in 1635 it was still in their possession. Beyond that there doesn't seem to be much history known about this tower, sadly.

Despite the lack of known history, it is an interesting ruin as you can still see the rounded corners which are pretty uncommon.

Corsbie Tower  is situated in the middle of a bog so definitely not somewhere to visit in the rain!

The site itself has links to the Bronze Age as a Bronze Axehead dated 700-800 BC was found here, there is also the site of an Iron Age hill fort nearby.
