Arbroath Signal Tower Museum
Angus
Arbroath’s Signal Tower Museum is located near the picturesque harbour in a complex of buildings which were originally used as the shore station and accommodation for the Bell Rock Lighthouse. Built in 1813, Signal Tower served the lighthouse until it was decommissioned in 1955 and became a museum in 1974.
