Salenside is a village off the A7, on the Ale Water, near Ashkirk, in Roxburghshire. There was a Salenside Tower house, but nothing remains of it. Salenside Farm and Salenside Cottage exist.
Records show that Salenside Tower, a fortified tower, stood here. While nothing of this tower is known to be left, it is possible nevertheless that Salenside cottage, on a knoll south of Salenside farm, is actually the converted base of the tower.[1]
Other places nearby include Appletreehall, Essenside, Hawick, Lilliesleaf, Philiphaugh, and Woll.
