Fairburn Tower, Tower house in Urray, Scotland.
The stone structure rises from Highland terrain with thick defensive walls, narrow windows, and multiple floors connected by a winding stone staircase.
The MacKenzie clan constructed this fortified residence during the late 16th century, demonstrating the architectural preferences of Scottish nobility during that period.
The tower represents the traditional building methods of Scottish craftsmen, incorporating local materials and construction techniques specific to Highland architecture.
The Landmark Trust manages the property and coordinates restoration efforts to maintain the structural integrity of this Category A listed building.
The tower's position provides extended views across multiple directions, a feature that made it an effective defensive structure in previous centuries.
