The enigmatic observatory: Reform Tower's untold story

The enigmatic observatory: Reform Tower's untold story

In the Scottish countryside, a tower stands incomplete, a silent testament to a vision unrealized. Its architect remains a mystery.

Reform Tower, in Meethill, a town southwest of Peterhead in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, was built in 1832. The structure was intended to be an observatory, but was never completed. The architect behind this intriguing structure remains unknown. The blocks, constructed in five stages, each slightly narrower than the last, still stand today, whispering tales of unfulfilled ambition.
