Invernettie, Meethill, Reform Tower, Category B listed observatory tower in Meethill, Peterhead, Scotland
The Reform Tower stands 58 meters above sea level, constructed from squared granite with rock-faced masonry on the ground floor and a crenellated parapet.
The foundation stone was laid in August 1832 by George Mudie, during which workers discovered a tumulus containing human bones and an ancient food vessel.
The tower represents early 19th-century Scottish architecture and commemorates the Parliamentary Reform Bill, marking a period of political transformation in Britain.
Located at 10 Glenugie Crescent in Peterhead, the Reform Tower serves as a navigation landmark for travelers entering the Buchan region.
During the 1833 foundation excavation, workers uncovered a rare Irish-made grey food vessel, one of only three such artifacts found in Scotland.
