Ringing
the Bells - SMC230
This
is a recording of the bells of St Magnus Cathedral being rung.
The style of bell ringing is distinctly Scandinavian and this
is the only place in Scotland where bells are rung like this.
The bells are not rung by the method of a wheel and crank.
Instead the bell rope is attached to the tongue of the bell.
St Magnus Cathedral has three bells. The largest bell was
recast in Amsterdam in 1682 after the spire collapsed.
