Tower O' Ess

This iconic Category “B” Listed 4-storey tower sits at the entrance to Glen Tanar Estate. Designed by George Truefitt and built by Sir William Cunliffe Brooks 1871-1873 it was refurbished in 1995 but suffered from widespread water penetration in subsequent years and required completely gutting back to bare walls with new structural floors and roof installed.

The opportunity was taken to remodel the internal layout, and a new bespoke spiral stair was constructed the full height of the tower. Accommodation comprises a kitchen on the lower ground floor with a living room, bathroom and bedroom on the subsequent floors. Now available as a unique luxury self-catering retreat. Winner of the Aberdeenshire Council Conservation and Building Adaptation Award – “Highly Commended”.
