Statement of Interest

Various plaques set in base of tower commemorating Duke of

Fife, 1849-1912, Lord Mount Stephen, 1829-1921 (Canadian

Pacific Railway) and the installation of the illuminated

clock, 1897 Diamond Jubliee. Topographical drawing by local

artist, John Scott, dating from circa 1835-40, reveals no

clock and depicts tower crowned by stumpy leaded steeple (John

Scott exhibition, Dufftown Museum, 1986).
