James MacMillan: Click the link "R+T Investigation" at the side of your posting - it says that the transmitter has been off air since 15:53.
Refer to the map from Scottish & Southern Power Distribution:
Scottish and Southern Energy Power Distribution - Power Track map
It says that there is a power cut affecting PA75, which is where the Glengorm transmitter is. The start of the power cut is reported as being 15:56.
