Not sure when this is actually open to visitors - we couldn't see from the outside. Maybe times are online.
The clocktower is nice enough to see, and it's interesting having a large barometer for people to look at on the outside as well. It told us the weather was changeable. No kidding - this is Scotland!

Also known locally as the Old Town Steeple this clock tower was built in 1790, reportedly by Aberdeen mason James Rhind. The clock-tower contains two centuries old bells 🔔, but they’re only rung on special occasions like Hogmanay. ( This area and street is famous for hosting the world-famous fireballs ceremony at New Year.) In 1894 the sandstone tower was built up higher, and the clock was re-positioned to the top of it, just below the lead covered bell cast spire. The large barometer incorporated above the door , and dated 1852 , has been invaluable to the fishing community over the years. Just outside the building is the historic Mercat Cross ( c 1645) - a stone cross resting on an octagonal base - but the head of the cross was replaced & remodelled for Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee visit. There is a visitor’s centre inside the entrance, but it’s unfortunately been closed upon our visits.

We came by the Clock Tower just a short distance on way out of the harbour.
Originally built in 1790. It was heightened in 1894 and the clock tower reset in present position at the top of the tower.
Above the doorway at the town side is a barometer which the fisherman used to see if they should go to sea. It was refurbished in 2015.
Worth a visit when visiting Stonehaven Harbour.

Popped in to get out of the rain. Clock mechanism & bells are revealed by new metalwork. Lots of work has been done to restore this. There's a small video exhibition.
You can't miss the lattice work of white LEDs round the top of the tower at night!

Walking down towards the Tolbooth Museum from the town centre I noticed that the Clock Tower was open and went inside to take a look.
You cannot climb the tower, access to the tower being for maintenance purposes only.
However, inside the very small square space is a nice museum that explains the history of the Clock Tower and has a video of the Fireballs.
It is possible to look up from the inside to see the bells and associated mechanisms. On the hour the bells chime and it is LOUD!
Be sure to have a look above the doorway outside too, to see the large barometer, which dates from 1852. This was of real benefit to the local fishing industry enabling the fishermen to forecast the weather. The Clock Tower was erected in 1790
If you are coming from the Harbour it is not so clear to find. It is about 100 feet away from the harbour.

Stonehaven clock tower dates from 1790, and the tower was heightened in 1894, and the clock moved to its present position. It is an attractive, square sandstone structure with a conical roof and, in addition to the clock, it is worth looking out for the large barometer above the door. Dating from 1852 it used to be used by local fishermen.

Volevamo visitare un borgo tipico di pescatori, e per la vicinanza a Dunnottar Castle abbiamo scelto questo.
Carino e tipico, però nulla di eccezionale
Unico punto che pare avere qualche valenza artistica è la torre dell'orologio che possiede anche un antico barometro per fornire informazioni ai marinai prima di uscire in mare.

This clock tower is an interesting feature of Stonehaven. There is a useful interpretation board adjacent and an ancient market cross (mercat cross)

A year or two ago this impressive building was only impressive at a glance. A full restoration has taken place and thankfully the clock tower and barometer has been saved and once again opened to the public. Entry is free and inside you find a video describing the restoration work, details of its history and an example of a Stonehaven fire ball and its use. The external barometer is unusual and it functions.

Visited this returning from harbour after lunch at Tollbooth. Superb clock tower built in 1790.
Barometer dates from 1852 which was used by the fishing industry.
Bells chime on the hour and well worth a visit when you are in the area.
