Tower of Hallbar, Tower house in South Lanarkshire, Scotland.

The Tower of Hallbar stands as a five-story stone structure measuring 7.5 meters square with walls reaching 1.6 meters in thickness.

Built in the 16th century, the tower gained prominence when the barony of Braidwood transferred to Harie Stewart of Gogar in 1581.

The tower's construction followed James V's requirement for defensive structures on lands valued over 100 Scots pounds across Scotland.

Located 3.5 kilometers southwest of Carluke, the restored tower now functions as a holiday accommodation with modern amenities.

The structure contains a low-vaulted cellar accessed from the basement and features a winding staircase connecting all five levels.
