Scotland's oldest known working clock is now running again and has been graced with a new face thanks to major conservation work by Historic Scotland!.

The restored clock was put back into place today on the front of the belltower of the 14th century parish church of St Bride's in Douglas, Lanarkshire!. They never did mention how its runs!.

Wind power!? (No, not farts!.) lol!
They'll be windy up clockwork things I think!.

The clock at our local bus station is at the top of a tower thingy and that's been showing 5 past 1 for the last 2 years!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have always assumed that they were electric!. Maybe something happened like a squirrel chewed a wire and that is why the clock stopped!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hahaha 'I thought they might be wind up, but then I thought the key must be massive'

That made me laugh!.!.!.Im not sure how they work!. Modern ones are probably electric, Old ones are probably wind up!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
