Eskdalemuir Observatory - Definition and Overview

The Eskdalemuir Observatory is located in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. It was moved to its present location, from Kew Gardens, in 1908 after the advent of electrification in London led to interference with instruments.

The observatory currently monitors:

  • Climatological data;
  • Solar radiation;
  • Atmospheric pollution;
  • Geomagnetic fields; and
  • Seismological data.

It is presently managed by the British Geological Survey.
