About Ostturm (Bridgend)

Architecture, Towers, Interesting Places, Other Towers

Der Ostturm (gälisch: Cnoc Na Croiche) ist ein zum Islay House gehöriger Turm. Er befindet sich am Westrand der schottischen Ortschaft Bridgend auf der Hebrideninsel Islay, etwa 300 m südöstlich des Islay House. Am 20. Juli 1971 wurde das Gebäude in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der Kategorie B aufgenommen.

Etwa zu Zeiten der Koalitionskriege wurde der auf einer flachen, begrasten Anhöhe stehende Turm als Artilleriestandort genutzt. Heute sind dort noch historische Kanonenrohre zu finden, von denen zumindest eines die Insignien von George III. trägt.
