Given the similarities it’s likely (but unconfirmed) that the Braidwood telescope is sister to the famous Calver telescope at #Armagh Observatory. If you're in the 🏴 central belt do take a walk through the gorgeous rolling hills of S Lanarkshire to see this piece of Scottish astronomical history! 🔭
A splendid cold walk to Fiddlers Gill to see the fab but rusting Victorian #Braidwood Telescope! Once part of the now long-gone Lanark Observatory, its optics are safe at the Lanark Museum. Sadly I see no hope in restoring this beauty tho, that's been long-abandoned in this field ☹️ #histsci 🔭🏴
