The Tower O'Ess was created by Sir William Cunliffe Brooks and architect George Truefitt from 1871 to 1873. Initially, it served as a grand entrance to the glen. Later in 1918, Lord Glentanar, Thomas Coats, transformed it into a working gatehouse.
It's now a luxury self-catering property for 2 people.
