The tower became roofless and was vandalised in the late 20th century.[1] It was placed on the Buildings at Risk Register for Scotland in 1997.[4] Put on the market in 2015, with an asking price of £28,000, it sold in September of that year.[4] It was listed for sale again, in March 2022,[5] when it was noted that it had lapsed planning permission to be restored.[6]
