One of the most interesting things about Scottish tower houses is that despite (or perhaps because of) being military in origin, the spaces created are rather sculptural and beautiful. Rooms are often lit from several sides, at various heights and through a variety of openings. The practical requirement to build thick walls has led to strikingly deep reveals for daylight to wash over.
