Jessie starts up again
After almost 6 months, Jessie (the village clock) arrived back at St Andrews in pieces.
The clock has been wound about 350 turns every week by hand since Queen Victoria's Jubilee, when the clock was installed.
Davie and Alan spent the morning fitting her back in her rightful place in the bell tower.
Although the hammer is waiting to strike, further work is needed to allow this to happen. For all you musicians the bell chimes a G note and was cast in Dublin in 1883.
So the old girl is up and running again, with a shiny new electric motor to keep her up to time. The owners of St Andrew's are providing the electricity for the moment until the council fits a new electricity supply, hence the extension cable at bottom right.

So once again Jessie can keep the village time.
