A real bit of history - the original BBC Perth Band I site well hidden in a deep forest on the slopes of Kinnoull Hill overlooking the town of Perth.

Two completely different locations were eventually used for UHF TV and Band II at Perth. This site was typical again of many of the early Band I sites having a wooden pole support and discrete location.

Chris Ronald has visited the site recently to show us how it looks today...

I came across the original photo of this site on mb21 and got curious, so suggested to my wife that the next time we were in Perth we should go for a walk up Kinnoull Hill. She wasn’t as keen as me but we went anyway! To say it is heavily wooded is an understatement – this is place is like a tropical rainforest. It is criss-crossed by paths – many them not on the map that Perth and Kinross council helpfully provide. There must be a few dog owners in Perth who know all these paths, but it was dead easy to get lost, and because of the density of the tree cover difficult to get your bearings as all you can see is trees!
