Cranshaws Castle or Cranshaws Tower is a privately owned 15th-century pele situated by the village of Cranshaws in Berwickshire, Scotland. The building is still in use as a residence, and is protected as a category A listed building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cranshaws Castle: Listed Building Report )〕 ==History== Originally part of the territory of the Earldom of Dunbar and March, Cranshaws became the property of Archibald Douglas, 4th Earl of Douglas (1372–1424). Douglas in turn bestowed it upon Sir John Swinton, 14th of that Ilk in 1401.〔Fraser, vol i p.364〕 Following Swinton's death at the Battle of Homildon Hill the following year, the lands passed to his son Sir John Swinton, 15th of that Ilk, who it is supposed built the original castle. The castle was reacquired by another branch of the Douglas family, the Earls of Morton in the 18th century, and there were extensive renovations carried out by George Douglas, 13th Earl of Morton (1662–1738).
