| Abstract: |
Cardrona tower, situated in the Tweed Valley Forest Park east of Peebles, is one of a number of small stone towers constructed in the Scottish Borders in the 16th century by local lairds. Although ruined, it is unconsolidated and remains in a relatively complete state. The tower has been monitored for over twenty years for the presence of bats, and has recently been subject to a detailed archaeological laser scan and historic building survey by AOC Archaeology. The historic context of the building is described and its suitability for bats is explained. The importance of understanding a site's cultural and natural heritage and their significance when managing historic environment features sustainably is then discussed, with particular reference to Cardrona Tower.
