Comments: South Knapdale is a TV and network FM relay of Black Hill

Here are pictures of this very busy Black Hill relay that stands high up between the Towns of Lochgilphead and Tarbert.

I saw the best sunrise I have ever seen and you will see what I mean from the photos.

The views from both ground level and up the tower are extensive, being able to see along the stretch of Loch Fyne both north and south. To the south is Arran to the north are the Arrochar mountains. Just behind the site to the west is Soouth Knapdale's highest summit called Ben Odhar.
