    Nybster Water Tower For Sale By Auction
    A chance for someone to become the owner of this massive structure on the skyline of Caithness. The water tower commands fantastic views across the county and over Sinclairs Bay was owned by Scottish Water and is no longer used. SVA Property Auctions are putting it under the hammer in Glasgow on 28 June at 2.00pm at Quality Central Hotel.

    I think it sold for about £30.000 at that auction, but not sure who to.
