Strontian Radio mast and hut

Date Added: 08 June 2008 Contributor: Norman Davidson Year of Photo: 2000 Picture No: 347

Thanks to Bill Irvine of Radio and Communications branch for sending this photograph.

This radio mast was located on the high point of the minor and steep public road that linked Strontian with Polloch on Loch Sheil side. Polloch was the old office site for Glenhurich Forest.

No mains electricity to this site and hence the array of photo electric panels. This mast would have helped send signals down Loch Sunart side as well as Strotian area itself and of course parts of Glenhurich.

Any stories about this site and location very welcome!

The 3rd mast recently added, made some difference to Polloch telecommunications over the summer 2024. Still some work is needed but all looks so different now. Comment left on 28 December 2024 at 23:27 by NIKOLETTA CHARDALOUPA
