Noah's Ark automaton clock in Eastgate Centre, Inverness
Each hour a monkey is seen raising up a tree and chiming a bell in order to tell the hour. On each hour the clock diorama also plays an animal themed song and a single set of doors open to show pictures of the animal associated with the song.
At 12 o'clock each day a longer display takes place where all of the tunes are played, all the windows are opened and the rest of the diorama also operates. It is still common to see crowds watching the clock for the extended 12 o'clock performance.
The image was taken after the 12 o'clock performance had just ended in front of an appreciative crowd.
