| Deskribapena |
English: McCaig's Tower McCaig's Tower (also known as McCaigs Folly) is a notable Oban landmark which was commissioned by John Stuart McCaig (1824 - 1902), a local banker. It was built in the style of the Roman Colosseum, and was intended as a memorial to McCaig and his family.
McCaig promoted the project to employ local stone-masons who were without work during the winter months. It was therefore during these months only when construction was undertaken between 1895 and 1902. McCaig had planned a more elaborate structure, containing a museum and art gallery, but his death brought an end to the money and the construction stopped with only the outer walls completed. The tower stands approximately 70 metres above sea level, the height of the wall varying from 9 to 14 metres according to the different levels of the ground. The walls are more than 610mm thick with a circumference of approximately 192 metres. It has an entry arch with two windows above it; in the lower tier there are 44 windows whilst there are 50 on top. The tower cost in excess of £5000, a considerable sum of money in Victorian times. |
