Craigkelly transmitting station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Craigkelly transmitting station is a 125 metre tall broadcasting and telecommunications facility located at Craigkelly (grid reference NT233872) north of the Firth of Forth above the town of Burntisland in Fife, Scotland. It is a free-standing lattice tower.
It came into service in September 1971 to bring colour TV services to Edinburgh, Fife and the Lothians but has subsequently become a major telecommunications structure supporting antennas for many broadcasting and private radio organisations.
The tower can be clearly seen from many parts of Edinburgh across the Firth of Forth on its prominent hilltop position.
