Binnhill Tower, Gothic observatory tower in Kinfauns, Scotland
The stone-built Binnhill Tower rises four stories high in the center of Binn Wood, featuring battlements and rounded walls with arched windows.
William Mackenzie designed this tower in 1839 for Francis Gray, 14th Lord Gray, following the architectural preferences of that period.
The tower represents the Scottish nobility's interest in Gothic architecture and their desire to create observation points across their estates.
Located 0.4 miles east of Kinfauns Castle, the tower requires renovation as it currently stands without a roof and faces structural challenges.
The tower's position on Binn Hill provides extensive views over the River Tay valley and the surrounding woodland landscape.
