Bell Tower

Captured at Port Logan, looking across to the pier and old lighthouse/bell tower. The three stage circular lighthouse tower with open light chamber to the third stage was built in 1818 and has been designated as a category B listed building. According to the Visit Scotland site the tower was designed by Thomas Telford.

Port Logan is a pretty village and was the location for the BBC series ' '2000 Acres of Sky,' and was used as a location in the film 'Keepers' starring Gerard Butler

All that aside it is just a pleasant place to sit and take in the view.

I have added a song by Robin Gibb called 'Saved By the Bell'

an acoustic lighthouse? ;-)
beautful place. HBM and have a good week!

2 years ago.

Ecobird ^club has replied to Boarischa Krautmo ^club

And why no?!!! I am not too old too enjoy a light show with my music ;-)))

Seriously, on some maps it is shown as a lighthouse and others have it marked as a belltower.
From what I can gather it is a granite and sandstone ornamental light tower, with an ornamental light chamber accessed via a ladder. It seems it was a lighthouse designed to look like an old bell tower as seen on some old churches.

HBM and have a great week Markus
