Old Photograph Round Tower Uig Isle Of Skye Scotland

Old photograph of the Round Tower, Uig, Isle Of Skye, Scotland. Built around 1860 this Drum-like folly guards Uig Bay from its southern headland opposite Rubha Idrigil. It was built for Major William Fraser, owner of Kilmuir estate from 1855. The house, Uig Lodge, was washed away in the great flood of 1877 just after he had organised Sky's last clearances.
