The ground floor of the tower is split into two barrel-vaulted chambers. There is an entrance into the eastern chamber, with a doorway leading through into the west chamber and giving access to the stair. The first floor contains the main hall, which is also now split into two rooms. This division was apparently made after the tower was built, but quite early on in its life. The hall features a large fireplace (now blocked), a recessed lavabo and aumbries, and a possible buffet recess in the north wall. On the second floor there is also an inserted dividing wall splitting the storey into two chambers, presumably bedrooms. At the top of the stair tower there was a watch chamber above the level of the second floor, slightly built out on corbels, which was latterly used as a doocot. The roof of the main tower featured crow-stepped gables and a pan-tiled roof until the 1970s, but this was probably not the original roof construction, which may have featured a small parapet. The tower is currently unroofed, the roof having fallen in some time after the 1970s.
Tranent is ideally situated for commuting to Edinburgh and other areas. It is just minutes from the A1, with direct links to Edinburgh and the North and Haddington, Dunbar and all points south. There is a regular bus service to Edinburgh. The main line railway station, located at Prestonpans, is only 14 minutes away from Edinburgh.
