McCaig's Folly
McCaig's Folly is a two story Category B-listed granite circle, ~ 200 meters in circumference, built by the wealthy banker John Stuart McCaig around 1900 as a monument to his family and as a create-work project for local stone masons. It dominates Battery Hill overlooking the town of Oban, Argyll, Scotland.

on December 9, 2022That's quite a family monument! It certainly has lasted a long time, so the stone masons did a good job!

on December 8, 2022Great composition on this Oban landmark. Slight correction to you title it should be McCaig's Folly or Tower not McCraig as you have put. Looks like they have removed a lot of the graffiti since I was last there. The b&w pp is perfect for the subject.

on December 8, 2022I love that you converted this to black and white, it really is perfect for this image. McCraig was very civic minded, and that's great. Love how strong this circle appears to be.
