Historically this location is also known as the 'Black Tower of Drumlanrig' and is the oldest building in Hawick. It was an imposing landmark in the town and has witnessed the savage cross - Border warfare and bitter inter-family feuding which marks the town's turbulent distant past. The sotry of the tower is traced from its earliest years as a fortified tower and stronghold of the Douglas family power, through development as a genteel 18th century residence for Anne, Duchess of Buccleich and Monmouth (whose husband was James, the illfated Duke of Monmouth). In the 19th century the Tower servied as Hawick's main commercial inn, later becoming the Tower Hotel - the focus of social life in Hawick until its closure in the 1970s. It was opened as an interpretative centre in the 1990s and refurbished as Borders Textile Towerhouse in 2009.
