MARIAN TOWER | Marian Tower | Thomas McRobert Smith Kirkcolm via Stranraer | 009 | This Tower which is the form of a cylinder was Built by Colonel Ross late of Balsarroch to the memory of his wife it is about 15 feet high & 25 ft. [feet] in circumference & [reads] the following inscription Marian Hill 1802 A prevalent belief with neighbourhood is that this Tower was erected to a deceased daughter's memory & that the name was marian, & the tower being built upon a hill induced Colonel Ross to attach Hill to Marian . but this in my opinion is quite absurd his wife 's maiden name I presume has been Marian Hill. |
