Webcam Projects

While working for Angus Council, I project-managed a webcam project. This webcam was located on the roof of a farm outhouse building up in Glen Clova, Angus. Sadly, this camera was decommissioned in 2019 and is no longer in operation.

When I first started this project, there was no electricity or phone-line in the farm outhouse - let alone a broadband connection. Given the remoteness of the location, there was a large, Cecil B. DeMille-like cast involved on this project: including shepherds, farmers, rangers, a team of BT Engineers (seems you can never get the same one twice), lawyers, bingo callers, hotel staff, a software techie and me. In short, this was one of those 'herding cats' projects.

Happily, the project is now finished, and the Glen Clova webcam can be viewed via this URL:
