Built 1813. Beige-coloured house and tower with castellated top; including the mast, about 20m high. Not intended as a lighthouse, but worth its place in Michael's List for its history; it was built as a stores depot and signal station for communication with the Bell Rock light, 11 miles out to sea. The simple messages "All right" or "Help" were indicated by a ball raised or lowered on the lighthouse, and the corresponding ball on the signal tower was raised or lowered in sympathy. Now a lighthouse museum, containing a splendid model of the Bell Rock light. image LR54 |

tower, red band 35mCorbelled balcony supporting black lantern on yellow base Often said to be on the most easterly point of the Scottish mainland, but this is incorrect on two counts: first it is on a small island connected by a bridge; and second it stands about 500 yards west of the extremity of Keith Inch, which forms the northern arm of Peterhead harbour. It is, however, the most easterly light and is one of the two brightest lights in the British Isles -- dazzling from the north side of Peterhead harbour and casting shadows from five miles away at sea LR30; CH213, 1409 |
