The Repentance Tower is a very rare example of a mid-16th century watch tower[1] standing on Trailtrow Hill, six miles north-west of Annan, Dumfries and Galloway. Built in 1565 by John Maxwell, the tower takes its name from an inscription Repentance carved on the stonework above the entrance door.[2][3]
