Reform Tower is an historic structure in Meethill, an area to the southwest of the Scottish town of Peterhead, Aberdeenshire. Dating to 1832, it is now a Category B listed building. In five stages, each narrowing slightly, the tower is constructed of squared granite. It was originally designed to be an observatory, but was not completed.[https://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB16362 Reform Tower Meethill] – Historic Environment Scotland
The tower's foundation stone was laid by George Mudie in August 1832. Its architect is not known.
