Title
Thomson Tower
Description
The�Thomson�Tower was designed by�architect William�Playfair�for his friends at�Duddingston�Curling Society as a place to store their curling stones on the shores of�Duddingston�Loch. As the weather changed, curling moved indoors, and the Tower fell into disrepair. In 2009 the Trustees restored the Tower, which now houses an interpretation room in the upper chamber whilst the lower chamber houses a�museum of curling.
