Something old, something new
Something old and something new at Kinnaird Head in Fraserburgh. The old foghorn, constructed in 1902, was a navigational aid during foggy and misty conditions until 1987 when it became redundant. Most ships now have enclosed wheelhouses, preventing a foghorn being heard. They use satellite technology and radar which work in all conditions.
The something new is the new Kinnaird Head Lighthouse which was constructed in 1991 and with its automatic light replaced the old lighthouse at Kinnaird Head.
This picture was taken from the balcony of the old Kinnaird Head Lighthouse.
