The lighthouse was by its self a beautiful building that shouted out 'yesteryear' and similar to a numer of them I have seen in the area. It is also very easy to like Cromarty as a whole with the busy harbour, lovely buildings, long seafront, shops, eateries and large elements that link present day to its historical past. A Naval connection is very evident and with the views out to sea I found it quite easy to imaging the fleet sailing into the safe anchorage of Cromarty Firth. Within all the shops we visited, and the Fisherton Inn, we were greeted by polite and helpful staff that added to the pleasant trip we had to Cromarty. With reasonable parking, public toilets and beautiful scenery I thoroughly recommend this seaside town for a visit.
Cromarty Lighthouse was designed and built by Alan Stevenson, one of the great lighthouse-designing family and uncle of RLS! Typically brilliant and elegant in design, Stevenson incorporated design elements from the Pharos and Egypt.
Cracking place in a lovely village. Go through the gate and have a wonder , cracking place to catch the mood of the day still lovely but locked up so I hope it's receiving no public money !!
I was delighted to get a close up view of this historic lighthouse. This lighthouse was designed and engineered by Alan Stevenson in 1846. It was built to guide ships through the Firth. Some will know that Cromarty still gets a mention on The Shipping Forecast on BBC Radio 4. The lighthouse is not open to the public except on the odd occasion. The lighthouse buildings are now in the care of Aberdeen University as a lighthouse field station.
Went for a Cromarty Boat Club committee meeting in the Old Buoy Store. Very impressive what they have done with it.
