This occupied house is built of red sandstone and carries the bull's head motif of the Heiton family. Built in 1595, it was restored in 1865 and a 2 storey east extension added in 1869. Fisher's Tower, the roofless shell remains of the second tower of Darnick (of 16th century origin), are within the grounds of Darnick Tower. (Source: Borders and Berwick by Charles Alexander Strang)
