Granton Lighthouse, Category C listed lighthouse in Granton, Scotland.
The two-story red brick warehouse features a corner tower with a lighthouse lantern cupola and yellow brick angle details along West Harbour Road.
Built in the 1860s, this Northern Lighthouse Board depot served as a central distribution hub for lighthouse supplies across Scotland until 2001.
The facility functioned as an experimental site where engineers tested new lighting technologies, including John Wigham's gas lighting demonstration in 1869.
The building currently provides business accommodation spaces, with direct access to transport links and the former Granton harbor area.
During World War II, the lighthouse lantern sustained damage from a Luftwaffe machine gun, leaving a permanent mark in its glass pane.
