Buchan Ness Light
Boddam, Aberdeenshire, Scotland
130 foot tower (39.6m), built in 1827 near Petershead
As built, Buchan Ness was fitted with the first flashing light in a Scottish lighthouse. It received a dioptric light system (with an enlarged lantern to allow cleaning) in 1910, was electified in 1978, and has been fitted with a Racon beacon. Aside from a lighthouse, this complex also includes a concrete bridge, built 1963, linking the island to the main land and a row of keepers' cottages.
