Water Tower, Schoolbrae, Garmouth

The Water Tower at Schoolbrae in Garmouth is an exceptional circular two-stage structure built between 1898 and 1901 by consulting engineers Jenkins and Marr. It features a slated conical roof and is notable for being one of Scotland's earliest reinforced concrete buildings. The tower was designed to supply gravity-fed water from a reservoir on the Fochabers Burn to the villages of Garmouth and Kingston, utilizing an unusual tandem chamber arrangement within the tower.

The tower is prominently located on high ground above Garmouth village. It has two doorways on the south side; the lower entrance, which was at semi-basement level, has been sealed since 1990, while the upper chamber rises through the wallhead within a piended dormer. Access to the interior was not possible in 2008 due to the sealing of the lower entrance. Further details about the upper section can be found in a 2006 report by Linn and Archibald. The tower was decommissioned in 1988.
