This is now "Rosehearty Tower", a private residence. On 7th May 2002 The Scotsman http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/business.cfm?id=490632002 reported it was under offer as a disposal from the Ministry of Defence, adding "It comes with the added benefit of bomb-proof and bullet-proof windows." Locals told me it cost £750,000 to build and was sold for £75,000. When photographed it had two wind socks, one from a Union Flag and one from a Scottish St Andrew's Cross flag. When built it replaced a building on quarry head, see Image
