Aberdeenshire
The Stonehaven Clock Tower stands tall and proud at the Cross and can been seen from around the town. The costs of the original 1790 build were met from the Common Good Fund and the sole purpose of the building was to contain the Town Clock for the local community. In 1894 the tower was heightened, and the clock was raised to its present position at the top of the square sandstone tower. Above the doorway is a large barometer, dated 1852, which was of immense benefit and used regularly by the local fishermen. In addition, the Clock Tower was also the site of one of the many public water supplies in the 19th century. Sadly, the Tower fell into disrepair but a major refurbishment in 2015, which gained the annual Conservation Award from the Aberdeen Society of Architects, has led its re-opening as a tourist attraction.
Please note that the Clock Tower will not be staffed on Doors Open Days.
