Doors Open Day – Virtual Tour of the Tower

September 19, 2020 By Forres Heritage Trust

Standing high on Cluny Hill, Nelson’s Tower looks down, with some presence, over Forres.

And because the building is closed right now, the Forres Heritage Trust which looks after the monument wanted to ensure that you can still get a chance to take in the stunning view from the top of the tower in the virtual tour.

Learn about how and why Nelson’s Tower was erected as a memorial to Admiral Lord Nelson. Get a look into each of the Tower’s rooms before emerging from the staircase to that breath-taking landscape.

Delve into its history in a virtual tour as part of Doors Open Day, led by Trustee David MacFarquhar.
