Signal Tower Museum Review

In the early 19th century, Arbroath was the base for the construction of the Bell Rock lighthouse on a treacherous, barely exposed rock in the Forth of Tay. A signal tower was built to facilitate communication with the builders working far from shore. That structure now houses the Signal Tower Museum, which tells the story of the lighthouse, built by Robert Stevenson (1772-1850) in 1811. The museum also houses a collection of items related to the history of the town, its customs, and the local fishing industry.
