Great Bernera

I visited Bosta Beach on Great Bernera this afternoon, in part to see the Tide and Time Bell that was installed there last July. The apparatus appeared to be lacking its clapper, leaving the beach only resounding to the crashing waves.

    What does the Time and Tidebell do, and how does it work. I assume it rings at high tide, but I'm not sure how it would know that.

    Thanks,

    Bruce

    Have a look at the website by Marcus Vergette who makes the Tide Bell (http://www.marcusvergette.co.uk/bell.htm)
