A visit to Kinnaird lighthouse.

A trip North today, to Fraserburgh, to the The Museum of Scottish Lighthouses at Kinnaird Head. I particularly enjoyed the collection of magnificent 19th century lights that have been gathered from lighthouses from around Scotland. These complex, rotating creations of bronze, and glass lenses, served not only to concentrate the light into a powerful beam but also to create the patterns of flashes that allowed mariners to correctly identify the lighthouse from many miles away.
