Gagie Well Tower

Gagie Well Tower is a substantial circular-plan well tower built in 1848 by engineer James Leslie. It was rebuilt and extended to include filter beds and a boundary wall by engineer George Baxter in 1906-1907, with architectural details provided by his brother David Baxter.

The well, dating from 1848 and rebuilt in 1906, is a single-storey structure featuring a circular-plan wellhead with a projecting entrance porch. It is constructed from lightly stugged sandstone courses and topped with a grey slate roof. The tower has a moulded base course, two multi-pane timber-framed top-hopper windows, and a massive corbelled and crenellated parapet. The entrance porch includes a plain boarded door with chamfered margins and a blank oculus above, set in a crowstepped gable with bracketted skewputts. On either side of the porch, there are bipartite sash and case windows with chamfered stone mullions and margins.

The filter beds, added in 1906, consist of three large rectangular-plan structures built from red and grey brick, with a narrow gauge railway line running alongside.

The gatepier and boundary wall, constructed in 1907, feature a pyramidal-capped, bull-faced ashlar gatepier with a round-coped ashlar wall adjoining it, along with a further similar pier and a rubble boundary wall.
