Marconi - Wireless Shack

.

Guglielmo Marconi conducted Scotland’s earliest radio experiments here in Fraserburgh.
.
The replica shack in the Centre was originally sited in view of nearby Broadsea village.
The scene from the window of the shack is what Marconi and his workers would have viewed.
.
We hope you will enjoy seeing the various communications equipment,
 and trying your skill with the Morse key.
