📌 Ferness, Highland

Ardclach Bell Tower is like a miniature slice of the Mediterranean cut and pasted in the Scottish Highlands. A tiny, yellow tower on a knoll above the Findhorn Gorge now houses the bell for Ardclach parish church below, although it probably originally served as a watchtower and prison! There are two rooms to explore inside.

💬 From the church it’s a 10-min uphill walk (each way) to the tower, firstly back up the access road, then along a track, then on a path with steps ( Easy).
