Amazing ... the device back in the day

Darkest chamber still shining after 189 years

AMAZING photos show the world's oldest functioning camera obscura, dating back to the 1830s.

Located in Dumfries Museum's observatory, the camera obscura has been functioning since 1836, after townspeople banded together to purchase an abandoned windmill high on Corbelly Hill.

A camera obscura, which is Latin for dark chamber, projects a 360-degree panorama of the surrounding landscape, to be viewed on a table. In 1835, after a proposal began to demolish the mill, a local man purchased the property for £350.
