Tour Scotland Photograph Signal Tower Arbroath


Tour Scotland photograph of the Signal Tower, Arbroath, Angus, Scotland. Originally built in 1813 as a base of operations for the famous Bell Rock Lighthouse, the Signal Tower housed the families of the keepers stationed on the ' rock ', along with the vital shore staff who ran the tender. The name Signal Tower comes from the signalling apparatus installed atop of the tower building that was used to communicate between the shore staff, the Master Of The Tender, and the keepers of the lighthouse.
