McCaigs folly

John Stuart McCaig was a successful banker in Oban, head of the North of Scotland Bank. In a spirit of public service mixed with no small amount of family pride, he decided to build a very odd public building on a high hillside overlooking Oban harbour. The project was intended to provide employment for local stone masons during the lean winter months, and at the same time create a lasting memorial to the McCaig family.

I think he did and it is quite apparent to which structure his narrative refers.
