Wallace Tower, Seaton Park
Image: © Colin Smith Taken: 27 Jul 2006
This old was formerly known as Benholm's Lodging and stood in Netherkirkgate, Aberdeen, in the 1700s. The figure was added in the 1800s, the house was renamed Well House, and this led to the current name, Wallace Tower. The figure is not of William Wallace, as is sometimes written. The house was resited in Seaton Park, Old Aberdeen in 1964. It remains like a small castle, Z-shape in plan, three storey high, with round towers on two sides. Unfortunately no longer residential, the tower house is boarded up.
