Tour Scotland photograph of the Pictish Tower in Abernethy, Perthshire, Scotland. The round tower built in the early 9th century, is one of only two such towers in Scotland, the other being at Brechin. This 72ft tall tower was built by the monks from the nearby monastery and has served several purposes; as a place of refuge, as a belfry and as a sepulchral, several skeletons have been unearthed within the building.
