Our Experts Say
Full of history and romance, Brackenhill Tower, the only Scottish peel tower (fortified house) standing now on English soil, is situated in the heart of what was once "the debatable lands". Now just in England but practically right on the border with Scotland, the tower is just 6 miles from the romantic wedding capital of Scotland, Gretna Green.
