Drum Tower
Following on from cement pointing works which had taken place in the 20th century, the historic rubble-built Tower of Drum was suffering for internal damp problems and degradation of external stonework. The main focus of the restoration project was the re-instatement of a traditional flush lime point to the external walls of the tower. The works also included a replacement copper roof to the cap-house and replacement oak framed windows.
The project has ensured the return of the 13th Century tower building to good health and conserved it for the enjoyment of future generations.
