"In Seaton Park"
If you follow the Chanonry to the west, up an old cassied or cobbled lane, you'll find Benholm's Tower, better known to Aberdonians as the Wallace Tower. This Z-plan, three-storey building near St Machar's Cathedral is a town house dating from the 16th Century, which stood for centuries in the Netherkirkgate (by St Nicholas Church) but was taken from there in 1963 and rebuilt stone by stone at Tillydrone Hill. The original harled tower has the traditional half windows and the sculptured figure of a praying knight in its recess, often assumed to be William Wallace; in fact, the name Wallace tower comes from well house and the figure itself was added only in the 18th Century and probably came from the Mither Kirk.
