The 1970s RAF water tower at Balivanich, no longer in use but saved from demolition and visible from most of Benbecula.
The water tower at Balivanich was built in the early 1970s to serve the RAF station and has been out of use for years. It divides opinion locally, but when demolition was proposed the community argued to keep it, and in a landscape as flat as Benbecula its height makes it the landmark you steer by from almost anywhere on the island.
