## The Tower Houses of Scotland – ONLINE EVENT
This talk will dive into the evolution of the tower house in the British
isles, focusing largely on the historical events which led to the trend of
tower-house building in the conflict regions of England, Ireland and Scotland
over the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.
It will also cover the varying designs and layouts these towers take –
specifically across Scotland, look into why we believe certain areas are more
densely populated with tower houses, and finally, mull over the cultural and
political circumstances which caused the tower house to remain an important
fixture in Scottish architecture throughout the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries.
This online talk will be held using Zoom. The event is free but a donation of
£5 is suggested and would be gratefully received.
