Kinnaird Head Lighthouse, Fraserburgh. The original lighthouse here was the first in Scotland and was erected on a pole on top of the small castle in 1787! It was converted to what remains today in 1824 - the light still sits on top of the original castle. @LighthouseMus

For the first time, PHAROS is in Denmark. This is to allow experts from the consultancy who will be supporting our project to replace NLB's older vessel POLE STAR, to visit one of our vessels. They'll meet the crew, see the ship's layout & equipment and witness buoy handling ops

Into the twenties of The Great Tour stages today, kicking off in Fraserburgh at Scotland’s Lighthouse Museum. Crossed fingers that despite the bleak weather it stays dry with a tailwind to push our riders forward to Lossiemouth🚴🏼♂️💨

We thought this parabolic reflector looked like the Death Star! Just like the Death Star this parabolic reflector was cutting edge technology in Scotland in the 1780s. Unlike the Death Star it can't blow up planets (although we've never tried).#StarWars #MayTheFourth #MayThe4th

A fine breakfast teacup for #NationalTeaDay. Lighthouses had everything keepers needed, from bedding and aprons to cutlery and crockery, all stamped with the Northern Lighthouse Board's logo buff.ly/3b5Q9lx From the @NatSignifColls at @lighthousemus #GoIndustrial

#ScottishArchivesDay In 1927 this postcard was sent from the most northerly point in the UK from its most northerly lighthouse. It gives a glimpse in to what life was like for a keeper and family: buff.ly/32oUIns From the @NatSignifColls at @LighthouseMus #GoIndustrial
