    The observatory tower was built in 1845 to provide a raised platform to observe the estate. In 1993 the local council bought the tower and began restoration. It's now structurally sound and occasionally open to the public.
    It makes a good target if running around Pitfour lake and up into the woods from Mintlaw.
