The (current) control tower for Tain Bombing Range (NH88SW 14.01) is situated immediately to the SE of the tracked target range (NH88SW 14.02). It is of steel and concrete construction with ancillary buildings consisting of offices and garages to the SW. The previous control tower stood at NH 8373 8330, this being built in trestle style, of wood. The tower in its original form, supported a radar aerial and was much taller than when in use as a control tower for the bombing range. This tower survived until c1992, when it was demolished when the new tower was brought into service.
