The Leaning Tower of Dingwall ! Erected over the grave of Sir George MacKenzie, the 1st Earl of Cromartie, in 1714. Dingwall's marshy sub-soil caused subsidence and the monument developed a tilt, remaining thus until its demolition by the Countess of Cromartie in the early years of the 20th century
