Scrabo Hill Tower, County Down, Northern Ireland: A Victorian Folly in Honor of a Hero of the Napoleonic Wars This evocative photograph captures the majestic Scrabo Hill Tower, nestled in the picturesque County Down landscape of Northern Ireland. The tower, built on a volcanic plug above the town of Newtownards, stands as a proud memorial to Charles Stewart, 3rd Marquess of Londonderry.

The photograph, taken in the 1910s, offers a glimpse into a bygone era. The lush greenery surrounding the tower, the clear blue sky, and the sense of tranquility all contribute to the timeless beauty of this iconic landmark.
