Lighthouse at Dunnet Head
SC0182
Dunnet Head Lighthouse sits on a remote moorland peninsula at the northernmost point of the Scottish mainland. Perched on top of stunning 300ft cliffs, the lighthouse is reached by a single track road that winds its way across a loch-strewn heather moor. The lighthouse was built in 1831 by renowned engineer Robert Stevenson and the adjacent cottages were home to the keepers and their families until 1989 when the light was automated. Today, the tower and keepers’ cottages are protected with Grade B Listed Status.
