Message from Kieran - Exploring Scotland

Rattray Head Lighthouse, built in 1895 by engineer David Alan Stevenson, stands tall as a beacon of safety along Scotland's northeast coast. This historic structure, with its distinctive white tower reaching 34 meters high, has guided mariners with its flashing white light every 30 seconds for over a century. Despite facing challenges like enemy attacks during World War II, the lighthouse continues to shine bright, now fully automated and protected by modern technology. Its fascinating history and vital role in maritime safety make it a true gem of Scotland's lighthouse heritage.
