Title

The Wine Tower, Kinnaird Head, Fraserburgh

Description

Believed to have been built at the same time as Kinnaird Head Castle (c.1570), the purpose of the building cannot be agreed upon: some believe it was a chapel, others that it was a wine cellar while some say it was a general apartment. The Tower used to have 4 stories, of which 3 remain. On the day, access will be allowed to the top chamber only where visitors can view the unique collection of carved plaster bosses which hang from the ceiling.

A guide will also be on hand to tell tales of forbidden love that ended in tragedy down among the rocks beneath the tower…can you hear the haunting pipe music? Come along to find out more!
