Time running out to save town’s old clock tower

An old clock tower could be sold for just £1 by cashstrapped council chiefs who hope the buyer will be able to run it.

The 19th-century monument has fallen into disrepair and could be boarded up by next summer if a buyer is not found.

Time has stood still at the B-listed clock tower in the centre of Dufftown, Moray, for months, as its power was cut off after water began leaking through the walls.
