At Spynie, considerable effort has gone into shoring and reinforcing the east wall of the tower, with a section of curtain wall rebuilt to buttress the wall, and two of the intra-mural vaults reconstructed to provide additional strengthening.

Rebuilt curtain wall section providing support for the east wall of David’s Tower at Spynie.
Sign at Spynie: “This buttress wall was built in 1991, on the line of a medieval curtain wall, to provide support for the adjoining tower.”
Section of intramural vault in the east wall of David’s Tower at Spynie, as rebuilt in concrete.
