BEN NEVIS OBSERVATORY
A. The observatory on the summit of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the United
Kingdom, was set up by the Scottish Meteorological Society. A public appeal was
launched to fund its construction. Queen Victoria is known to have given a generous sum,
but there were also other sponsors. Between 1883, when the observatory opened, and
1904, when its closure was announced, meteorologists at the site undertook detailed
weather observations. They gathered comprehensive information about atmospheric
phenomena.
B. The observations were published in the Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh
and they are some of the most detailed records of the weather in the Victorian era. But
what was it like to live and work on Ben Nevis? The weather conditions were severe:
100 mph winds were common, the temperature would sometimes drop to –15oC, and
the weathermen lived “inside a cloud” for most of the year. One winter, heavy blizzards1
left the summit covered in a 5 ft (1.5 m) layer of snow and they found themselves snowed
in, so they had no other choice but to undertake the exhausting task of digging tunnels to
leave the observatory. Despite the harsh conditions on Ben Nevis, the meteorologists
carried on with their work.
C. Sometimes they had to develop unusual solutions in order to perform their duties, and
they always had to be prepared for the unexpected. Once, the observatory was struck by
lightning, which came down the chimney and set the wooden panels of the interior on fire.
Fortunately, the blaze was speedily and fairly effortlessly extinguished. Due to a lack of
public funding and private donations, the weather station ceased2 operating in October
1904, though the outcome of the meteorologists’ work lives on.

D. The ambition of the meteorologists was to make the data they collected accessible to aid
weather forecasting and mountain meteorology. Following the closure of the observatory,
the data lay hidden in dusty archives for a long time. However, they were recently
republished in digital form. More than 3,500 volunteers accomplished3 the digitization in
less than three months. This success may result from the fact that the story of the
meteorologists living in such a remote observatory and hostile environment was
a wonderful inspiration. The undertaking received extensive media coverage. Social
media were most helpful in spreading information about the digitization and providing
regular updates on its progress.
