North Queensferry, Pierhead, Lighthouse, Historic lighthouse at Pierhead in North Queensferry, Scotland
The North Queensferry Harbour Light Tower features a 24-step staircase leading to a viewing platform overlooking the Forth Bridge and surrounding waters.
Robert Stevenson constructed this maritime navigation structure in 1817 as part of the essential Queensferry Passage across the Forth estuary in Scotland.
The lighthouse represents maritime heritage through its traditional Argand lamp system, which guided vessels across the Forth for generations of Scottish seafarers.
Visitors can schedule guided tours between May and September, with special arrangements available during winter months by contacting North Queensferry Heritage Trust.
This category A listed building holds the distinction of being the smallest functioning lighthouse in the world, measuring just a few meters in height.
