The Body Snatchers- Callander
This is the six sided watchtower in Callander built during the late 18th century to guard against the body snatchers. There werent enough legal bodies for medical research and there was a flourishing business in Edinburgh led by Burke and Hare to dig up freshly buried bodies for research. Anxious relatives had this watchtower built and it was used to guard the graveyard.
