| Lairg was originally a BBC landlord site which entered service on 8-Dec-1978, to serve about 1100 people. Channel 4 was added on 4-Sep-1987. The original structure was a 17m wooden pole, which has subsequently been replaced with this tower for site sharers. |
| The view of the Tx from the village. |
| Loch Shin in the background. In the 1960s I wasted many hundreds of hours of childhood cooped up in a van hiding from rapacious midges, whilst father fished for trout. He wore a beekeeper's outfit. I read and re-read the only available newspaper, the Aberdeen Press and Journal, which contained little but the prices of cows. |
| A conflict of modern sensibilities has led to the buildings being camouflaged but then adorned with garish Health and Safety notices. |
| 4 tiers of crossed log periodics are used for transmit. |
| A single vertical log periodic is used to receive the programme feed from Balblair Wood. |
| The burial cairn at the summit, with the Tx target area in the distance. |
