Dunning


Like the other 5 towers similar to Dunning in Scotland,  Dunblane cathedral, Markinch, Muthill and St Rule, Dunning tower is the sole survivor of the old church.  The tower is of 5 storeys, with only the upper 2 and roof being divided by a projecting string course.  It is constructed of local stone set in well laid courses which approaches ashlar quality in places.  Internally there is a fine tower arch which appears to have had a new, highly pointed arch inserted in place of a theoretical earlier Romanesque one.
