I've just returned from a fabulous Easter hill-walking weekend on the remote and stunningly beautiful Isle of Barra in the Western Isles. In the process I managed to capture images of all three UHF tv relay stations on the island.
Bruernish on the East Side of the island is fed from Kilbride (South Uist) and then as described for Borve. Incidentally, the BBC pictures (with NICAM stereo sound) received at the end of this incredible relay chain, as seen in our nearby B&B, were excellent, however ITV and C4 were mediocre at best.
The first photo shows the station at sunset on Friday evening, 6-Apr-2007. The others were taken early morning Saturday, 7-Apr-2007
