Fort Fin-castle built in 1793 shaped like a steamer paddle wheel .


Fort Fincastle was built in 1793 by Lord Dunmore, a Royal Governor (1787 - 1796), whose second title was Viscount Fincastle. This fort, shaped like an old paddle wheel steamer, was built to protect the city from invasion but saw little action. It served as a lighthouse until 1816 and was subsequently used as a signal tower.
