NT 2511 7352 A watching brief was undertaken in December 2000 and January 2001 while Historic Scotland personnel undertook the excavation of a complex of pipe trenches in and around the No. 2 Water Tower, as part of a programme of replacing and upgrading the pipes to and from the main water tanks.

Both areas under observation in the present works have been massively affected by a continual process of pipe and cable insertions. All the present works seem to follow existing trench lines, and no structures or finds of an archaeological nature were discovered.
