Isle of Mull McCaig’s Folly

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Regular. Also available bottled.
John Stuart McCaig built McCaig’s Folly over a three-year period starting in 1897, an Oban banker of considerable wealth as the cost of the folly was in the region of £5000.
The plan was for a museum to be housed in the structure along with a central tower, and for statues of himself and his family to be erected in the windows overlooking Oban, but McCaig’s death saw the end of the project.
The folly now stands an empty shell. The structure with its two-foot thick walls rising forty feet against the skyline is not wasted, as the interior has now become a public garden.
