Kinpurnie Tower
Atop the hill is Kinpurnie Tower, built by amateur astronomer James Stuart-Mackenzie in 1766. It is 6 metres (20 ft) tall and is visible from the roadside.
The observatory was designed by Alexander Bryce (1713 - 1786), Minister of Kirknewton and East Calder, but remained incomplete.
