The Tallest Chimney In Scotland

Cox's Stack is 282ft high and was completed in 1866 at a cost of 6,000 pounds. It was modelled on an Italian campanile, or bell tower. It was built with polychrome brick on an ashlar stone base. The architect was a local man, James Mclaren. ,
It formed part of Cox Brothers' Camperdown Works in Dundee which was the largest jute producing complex of its time. At its peak there were 5,000 employees, 820 power looms and 150 hand looms. It had its own railway station. The enterprise closed down in 1981when the demand for jute disappeared.
Great shot!
