Description
An account of the resource
<p>The tower was built as a war memorial by the Tenth Duke of Argyll, Niall Diarmid Campbell to mark the huge loss of life in the great war and especially those members of Clan Campbell who came from the local towns and villages.</p><p>The Duke conceived the idea of building a tower and installing a set of bells at the end of the War in 1918. The bells were actually cast first and delivered in 1921 before work on the tower began. Meanwhile the Duke commissioned architects Hoare and Wheeler of London to design the tower, the final decision being accepted in 1926. Eventually in 1930, the tower, at 39m(128ft) high, was finished and the bells weighing nearly 8 tonnes were installed by Christmas 1931.</p>
