These are photos of Sauchie Tower, a tower house built in Clackmannanshire by Sir James Schaw of Greenock, between 1430 and 1440.


If you look at the left wall, you can see two, small gutters protruding from the stone. One can be easily seen, just above center. These were drains from the toilet areas, within the tower.

This area was designed to hold a wash basin and you can see the hole for the drain, in the rear wall.
I belong to an organization, Friends of Sauchie Tower, that is seeking to restore this structure, with an eye to possibly letting it out, like what has been done to Liberton Tower.
