The Duke's Tower, Bell tower in Inveraray, Scotland.

The Duke's Tower rises 126 feet above Loch Fyne, featuring thick pink granite walls and intricate stone tracery in the belfry section.

Construction of this Category A listed building began in 1921 and concluded in 1931, with costs reaching £17,750 during the interwar period.

The tower contains ten bells named after Celtic saints, cast by John Taylor & Co and transported from Loughborough in 1921.

The tower remains open for visitors during summer months, with regular bell ringing demonstrations and guided tours available throughout the season.

A lightning strike in 1944 caused substantial damage to the structure, leading to major restoration work carried out by Yorkshire bell ringers in the 1960s.
