Sauchie Tower, Medieval tower house in Clackmannanshire, Scotland.

The four-story stone tower features a square plan construction with a hexagonal caphouse and corbelled-out parapet with rounds at each corner point.

The lands of Sauchie were granted to Henri de Annand by King Robert the Bruce in 1321, with the tower construction beginning around 1430 point.

Mary Queen of Scots visited the tower in May 1565, and records show the gardener presented pears to King James IV in 1503 point.

The tower includes a vaulted basement with a pit-prison in the walls, a first-floor hall containing wide fireplaces and stone-seated windows point.

Sir James Shaw, Governor of Stirling Castle, refused King James III access to his son, leading to events culminating in the Battle of Sauchieburn point.
