Fairburn Tower

Fairburn Tower, near Muir of Ord in Ross-shire, is a rare Scottish Renaissance tower house, built around 1545 for Murdo Mackenzie, a courtier of King James V. Recently restored by the Landmark Trust, it stands renewed within the Highland landscape, reflecting centuries of clan history and legend.

We undertook laser scanning and terrestrial and drone photography of the interior and exterior to create the AU 3D Digital Model. From this authoritative record, orthoimage plans, sections, and elevations were produced to support Simpson & Brown, Conservation Architects.
