A well-detailed look-out tower at Bandrum near Saline, Fife, situated on high ground with views over the Firth of Forth. The foundation stone was laid on 7 July 1842. Former sea captain Archibald Hogg was the owner of the Bandrum Estate at that time and built the tower on the site of an earlier timber one built by David Black around 1813. A stone bust depicting Archibald Hogg, 1790-1866 that previously adorned the temple is known to still exist.
