Noss Head Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse near Wick, Scotland
The white cylindrical tower of Noss Head Lighthouse stands 18 meters tall with a black dome lantern and a protruding glass structure at its summit.
Engineer Alan Stevenson designed and completed the construction of Noss Head Lighthouse in 1849, providing essential navigation aid for vessels in the North Sea.
The lighthouse's former keeper's cottages now function as a study center for the Clan Sinclair Trust, focusing on Scottish family history research.
The lighthouse beam reaches 46 kilometers into the sea, flashing every twenty seconds in alternating white and red signals to guide maritime traffic.
Local workers affected by the Highland potato famine constructed the access road from Wick to the lighthouse site, earning wages during difficult times.
