Coxton Tower, Tower house in Moray, Scotland.
Coxton Tower stands as a four-story stone construction with walls reaching 1.4 meters in thickness and features gun loops in multiple defensive positions.
The initial structure received royal permission in 1572, but after destruction by fire in 1584, the current tower was constructed around 1590.
The armorial panel above the entrance displays initials of Alexander Innes and his feudal superior, representing the social hierarchy of medieval Scotland.
The tower contains a ground-floor storage area accessed through a chamfered doorway, while the first-floor entrance requires using stairs added in 1846.
The building employs an all-stone construction including its roof, demonstrating architectural techniques developed to resist both fire and external attacks.
