Clermiston Tower, Corstorphine Hill, Edinburgh

Clermiston Tower is a 5-stage, square plan, crenellated tower built in 1871 for William Macfie. It features a turret and is constructed from rubble sandstone with bull-faced dressings. The tower has angle buttresses, dividing band courses, quoins, long and short surrounds to openings, corbelled battlements, and moulded eaves.

On the west elevation, there is an inscription above a panelled cast-iron door at the ground level, with a single rectangular opening aligned above for each stage. The north, east, and south elevations are similar, but include a single round arch that has been blocked at the ground level.

Inside, there is a spiral iron staircase consisting of 100 steps.
