Located high up on the hills of Derry / Londonderry and overlooking Lough Foyle, this signal station was built during World War 2.
Its main purpose was to communicate with ships and aircraft using the westerly approach over the Atlantic to the United Kingdom.
The site was active for around 20 years before closing in the 1960s. It is now up for sale with planning permission with many of the buildings demolished.

This former hospital was built beside East Fortune Airfield to treat tuberculosis patients in Scotland. During World War II, it was converted into a military hospital and expanded to accommodate 400 beds. After the war, it was converted into a hospital for intellectually disabled children and then adults before closing its doors for good in 1997.
