Truly, this is a backyard castle! Nestled in a sleepy housing development stands the magnificent Preston Tower. Take a stroll through the grounds with David and discover how this impressive structure, built by the Hamilton family, withstood terrible invasions from the south.
This is a video created as part of our Backyard Castles: Southern Scotland project.
