This bell tower in the Scottish Highlands is a true architectural oddity: a remarkable little fortified bell tower, standing alone on a hill above the parish church of Ardclach.
Journey inside
Ardclach Bell Tower was probably built by noted Covenanter Alexander Brodie in 1655, and may have begun life as a watchtower-cum-prison. The small belfry was likely added later, housing the church bell for the parish church in the Findhorn valley below.
Brodie had use for a watchtower – his support for the Presbyterian cause had led to several attacks on his estate by Royalist forces.
