Where in Moray?

The Burghead transmitting station at Clarkly Hill started service on October 12, 1936.

It has three masts in total.

The tallest is 506ft and is used to broadcast BBC Radio 4 on longwave (198 kHz).

Another is 504ft and transmits medium wave signals for both BBC Radio 5 Live (693 kHz) and BBC Radio Scotland (810 kHz).

The third and smallest mast is the backup antenna.
