Additional info
The Bass Rock Lighthouse on Bass Rock is a 20-metre (66 ft) lighthouse, built in 1902 by David Stevenson, who demolished the 13th-century keep, or governor's house, and some other buildings within the castle for the stone. The commissioners of the Northern Lighthouse Board decided that a lighthouse should be erected on the Bass Rock in July 1897 along with another light at Barns Ness near Dunbar. The cost of constructing the Bass Rock light was £8,087, a light first being shone from the rock on the evening of 1 November 1902. It has been unmanned since 1988 and is remotely monitored from the board's headquarters in Edinburgh. Until the automation the lighthouse was lit by incandescent gas obtained from vaporised paraffin oil converted into a bunsen gas for heating a mantle. Since that time a new biform ML300 synchronised bifilament 20-watt electric lamp has been used.
The Bass Rock, or simply the Bass, is an island in the outer part of the Firth of Forth in the east of Scotland. Approximately 2 km (1 mi) offshore, and 5 km (3 mi) north-east of North Berwick, it is a steep-sided volcanic plug, 107 m (351 ft) at its highest point, and is home to a large colony of gannets. The rock is uninhabited, but historically has been settled by an early Christian hermit, and later was the site of an important castle, which after the Commonwealth period was used as a prison. The island belongs to Hew Hamilton-Dalrymple, whose family acquired it in 1706, and before to the Lauder family for almost six centuries. The Bass Rock Lighthouse was constructed on the rock in 1902, and the remains of an ancient chapel survive.
The Firth of Forth is the estuary, or firth, of several Scottish rivers including the River Forth. It meets the North Sea with Fife on the north coast and Lothian on the south.

Is it worth to install a live camera in your website such as Scotland webcam?

Installing a live camera on your website is a brilliant method to advertise your business. It doesn't matter whether it is a website of a seaside resort, a city service, a website of a guesthouse or a ski lift, or a blog focused on tourism. A live camera view will definitely have a positive impact on the traffic on your website. Moreover, the view from a live camera, such as Scotland:

  • attracts users from various locations and increases the chances of finding you on the Internet;
  • keeps potential clients on the site;
  • strengthens the trust of internet users in the observed place and adds to its reputation;
  • it supports the promotional activities of tourism and hospitality businesses - a live camera will be a great addition to the website of a facility for rent, ski resort, swimming pool, museum, zoo, botanical garden and many other interesting facilities;
  • allows to check in real time important information for travellers, such as weather, parking situation or traffic in a given city;
  • helps in gaining backlinks - links leading to your website from other portals, which translates into more effective building of the position in Google;

Having a trip to see your favorite places is a costly thing and in fact, it requires time as well. However, you can see those places without making any expense and you can reach there within a minute, how!Via live camera . It allows you not only to see the famous places around the globe but to check their climate and a lot more.

This live camera quality is exceptional but sometimes it happens that the camera does not work for a moment. However, this doesn't mean the service is poor but it is a matter of common sense that due to lack of power or harsh weather conditions, the camera may get down for a little time. In this situation, I leave a comment for the team to make them aware about that specific camera.
