Fraser’s Folly (by Ben The Man)

You will see this Norman style tower as you drive down into Uig from the Portree road. This is not an early Norman Tower it is a much more modern ruin. The Uig Tower was built by Captain Fraser, a notorious landlord of the Kilmuir Estates during the period of the Highland clearances, and was indeed originally used to collect rents from the local crofters.This building was used to house a family in Uig into the 1950s.
