Wallace Tower, Seaton Park
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.

Wallace Tower...
...more correctly known as Benholm's Lodge is a fine tower house built ca. 1610 and relocated stone-by-stone from its original location in the city centre to make way for a Marks and Spencer store. The building is now sadly boarded up but there are plans to refurbish it as a community hub. For more, see Canmore record 20178: https://canmore.org.uk/site/20178/aberdeen-benholms-lodge .
