I wonder what the Hobbits did with the towers once they received them...maybe they took a peek into the West...

ninja91 has just left Hobbiton.
As far as I know they had passed through the Tower Hills to reach the Grey Havens, so they were the White Towers, which had been built by Elendil.

White Tree

nope, I looked it up
they were built by Gil-Galad for Elendil
they were guarded by Cirdan and the Elves of the Grey Havens, and when the White Ship departed, Cirdan placed the palantir on the ship.
So the hobbits couldn't have looked into the west when they received this land...
interesting is Frodo had a dream of Elostirion at Crickhollow:

Quote:
Then he heard a noise in the distance. At first he thought it was a great wind coming over the leaves of the forest. Then he knew that it was not leaves, but the sound of the Sea far-off; a sound he had never heard in waking life, though it had often troubled his dreams. Suddenly he found he was out in the open. There were no trees after all. He was on a dark heath, and there was a strange salt smell in the air. Looking up he saw before him a tall white tower, standing alone on a high ridge. A great desire came over him to climb the tower and see the Sea. He started to struggle up the ridge towards the tower: but suddenly a light came in the sky, and there was a noise of thunder.
