A circular white harled 2 story tower. Conical slated roof with round finial, a lum (for a fire to keep watchers warm) and bellcote (for bell to raise the alarm). Recently restored by the Banchory Rotarians. The warning bell is dated 1664 and probably came from an early church on the site, established as a missionary base by St Ternan around 490AD.

Numerals carved in nicely dressed blocks to indicate depth, they appear to change from Arabic to Roman between 9 and X, presumably to maximise clarity. See the external link to RCAHMS for aerial views etc.
