Ackergill Tower
Ackergill Tower is a five-storey oblong Scottish tower house on the coast of Sinclair's Bay near Wick in Caithness, built in the early 16th century with a later rear wing. It is a Category A listed building and has been used in recent decades as a venue and hotel. The present silhouette combines the tall stone tower, a lower crenellated curtain wall with a round drum tower, and a multi-storey wing to the rear.

As it stood in 1860
The shape it held in its prime.
A tall five-storey oblong stone tower of roughly rectangular plan, faced in local grey sandstone, with narrow vertical windows and a ground-floor arched entrance; a lower crenellated curtain wall stretches from the tower and terminates in a round drum/turret to one side. A four-storey rear wing is attached to the main block, and a small cap-house/roof structure tops the tower with steep slate roofs and flagstaffs. The castle sits on short grass near the coast with an open forecourt.
