Old Sauchie (Stirling) Past & Present
Old Sauchie in 2003 during a SCA visit
Today - restored by a SCA member
This attractive little 16th century L-plan tower house near Bannockburn was a mere shell until it was purchased and splendidly restored by a SCA member.
It highlights just what can be done to save these old tower houses.
