Osu Watchtower, Imsil

This structure is a watchtower used to monitor fires in the surrounding area and to signal emergencies or the night-time curfew. Bricks were laid up in a cylindrical shape and topped with a hexagonal watch platform, with holes made in each of the six sides so that the surroundings could be viewed in every direction. Rising higher than the buildings around it, the watchtower stands in the town centre and forms a major feature of the area's landscape.
