Description
Bridgeness Tower, dated 1750, is a four-stage circular tower with a basement, located in The Tower Gardens, Bridgeness, Bo'Ness. It features an attached circular stair-tower and a two-storey wing with a pitched roof covered in pantiles to the south. Originally a windmill, the building has undergone later alterations and is now converted into a house. The exterior is harled with mostly painted margins, a base course, and a brick battlemented and corbelled top storey that includes arrow slits, designed by Hippolyte Blanc in 1895.
The windows are timber sash and case, mainly with 12 panes. There is a blind window on the eastern ground level with an unpainted margin and a marriage lintel dated 1750, which is now badly weathered.
Inside, the pantiled wing to the south has a barrel-vaulted ceiling at ground level, while the tower's interior has been extensively modernised.
The property is enclosed by a high sandstone rubble boundary wall with flat coping and a plaque on the eastern side.
