Three cast iron water cisterns are in a stone edifice designed by WG Lamond to look like a Spanish castle, 1885, as the trustees of the land demanded something more edifying than the first proposal. It stands in a public park. The water tower held 200,000 gallons pumped from wells. In 1908 it was superseded by a water supply from Glen Ogil but was declared on BBC Radio 4 to be the best-looking in Britain.
