Nelson's Tower high on a hill to the south of Forres was erected in 1806 to commemorate Admiral Lord Nelson and his victory at Trafalgar.

The tower has been recently refurbished and free access is now given.  From the top magnificent views of the area can be had, you can easily see the town of Forres, Findhorn Bay and the Moray Firth. 

Inside the tower there is three separate rooms and within these are old photographs of the area and lots of information about Nelson and Trafalgar.
