Coxton Tower is dated 1644. The tower originally belonged to the Innes family then was sold to the Duff Earl of Fife. The Earl built a house nearby and left the tower empty.
The tower has four levels: the ground floor is the cellar, the first floor is the entry, while the last two floors served as private chambers. The top floor had two closets at opposite corners of the room (the circular bartizans) and a square bartizan on the third corner. Each of the bartizans had shot holes for defense and the square one had machiolation.
All the floors had a square hatch in the center to create a sort of dumbwaiter between floors. The hatches were covered over in later years. The cellar had an outside door installed around 1840 and the entrance stairway was upgraded to stone.
