Foghorn !

Foghorn !
The rotating foghorn below the Mull of Galloway lighthouse, powered by compressed air and fed by diesel generators in the engine house, the Foghorn would be operated by Lighthouse Keepers should seaward visibility drop below 4 miles, this is now fully restored to working condition but is used now only on special occasions, The pip although not the best quality shows the position of the Fog Horn relative to the Lighthouse and walled gardens.

Please view large.

The horn can be heard by clicking this link, volume up for full effect, www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndn8ZflyTAY
