Inveraray Bridge on Loch Fyne.

Above the bridge you can see the high point of Dun Corr-bhile, 321 meters, a sub Marilyn and a P145. Below this is Dun na Cuaiche 248 metres (813 feet). The name literally means 'the hill of the cup, bowl or quaiche' and is probably so called because of the hollowed out shape at the top. The earth works that give this appearance may be due to excavation at the time the tower was built or to much earlier Iron Age activity.
The tower itself was designed by Roger Morris and William Adam and was built in 1748. Its purpose was purely decorative and was cleverly sited on the edge of the steep face of the hill but not quite on top so that when seen from the Castle and Town it is silhouetted against the sky. From this commanding position it is possible to see how the landscape has evolved over the past 300 or so years.
