_3180 Museum of Abernethy "The Museum of Abernethy was opened in May 2000 by Magnus Magnusson. The Museum has held the Visit Scotland four stars award since 2001. The building, which stands within the lands of the old Culdees monastery, dates from the eighteenth century. Originally consisting of a byre, stable and cattle rede, it was renovated during the 1990s to house the Museum. In keeping with the aim of preserving the building's heritage, some of the original features, such as the internal stone walls and an area of cobbled floor, have been left visible. Abernethy itself is a historic settlement having been occupied since Pictish times, and the aim of the Museum is to preserve as much as possible of this varied and extensive history."

It has one of Scotland's two surviving Irish-style round towers.\nThe round tower is approx. 22 metres high and has an internal diameter of 2.515 metres. The exterior diameter is 4.648 metres near the base, and 4.267 metres at the top.\nToday there is a Pictish carved stone at the base of the tower, but this is not the stone\u2019s original location. (The stone was dug out of the foundations of a local house.\nThe tower is thought to date from the eleventh century, but may incorporate the foundations of an earlier structure.
