Elphinstone Tower, Falkirk

[3] The Elphinstone Estate was purchased for £16,000 by John Murray, son of the 3rd Earl of Dunmore, in 1754.

[4] In the 1820s the 5th Earl commissioned the building of Dunmore Park as the principal residence on the estate.

The additions to the tower were demolished to allow construction of St Andrew's Episcopal Church, a private chapel completed around 1850.

[5] The tower was subsequently restored and the ground floor remodelled as a family burial vault.

St Andrew's Church was demolished in the early 1960s,[5] and the north-west angle of the tower collapsed after a storm around 1968.
