The remarkable structure was built onto the side of Kirkhill Parish Church. After falling into disrepair after the reformation, it underwent significant renovations and was reopened in 1998. From the tower, visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of the remnants of Lovat Castle and the beautiful Beauly Firth, while the nearby field stands as a reminder of theasers of Lovat's gatherings in times of strife.
