North Head Memorial Tower, North Head Footpath, Wick

The North Head Memorial Tower, dated 1909, is a two-stage commemorative tower with a square plan, located on North Head Footpath in Wick. It features a castellated parapet and a small square turret or cap house at the southwest corner. The tower is constructed of coursed Caithness sandstone rubble, which has been rendered as of 2017.

All elevations have blind sandstone slab windows. The southwest elevation includes an arched entrance that is partially blocked as of 2017, with an inscription panel above it. The inscription reads: "To perpetuate the patriotism of those natives of Caithness who served their country on land and sea. Many of their names, rescued from forgetfulness, are preserved for posterity in this memorial tower. 'Their names are here: their deeds are in the histories of the world.' 1909." Additionally, there are inscriptions commemorating various battles, including those at Camperdown, Trafalgar, and Waterloo, on the other elevations.

The interior, as observed in 2017, features a concrete floor at ground level, with no floor structure at the first storey. A square hatch in the ceiling made of stone flags provides access to the turret and roof.
