... and by a strange coincidence, Celtic Music Radio, the UK's only radio station dedicated to traditional and contemporary folk/scottish/celtic-influenced music, broadcasts from Shieldhall wharf in Glasgow - the exact spot where the SS Shieldhall used to dock and load up it's "special cargo"!

The ship left the Clyde in the late 70s, and sludge-dumping ceased in 1998, due to an EU ruling on dumping of sewage at sea.

Shieldhall wharf, part of the sewage treatment works, has been unused for 10 years.

Celtic Music Radio's transmitter now lives in a building on the quayside, and the antenna is supported by the mast that originally held the navigation beacon. Fortunately, our studios are in a more pleasant location.

It would be great to get a CD copy of this track... :)
