50th Birthday 7: Ardnamurchan Lighthouse

An account of our visit to Ardnamurchan Lighthouse and its surrounds, with a ohoto gallery.

On Wednesday afternoon we visited Ardnamurchan Lighthouse. This post looks back at that visit. This is a transition point in one way – after spending most of yesterday travelling I am back home in King’s Lynn now.

The lighthouse, a Stevenson design, is reasonably impressive but hardly distinctive. Behind the lighthouse there are some stunning views, and a small exhibition about some of the sea creatures that can on occasions be seen in this part of the world. There are also a few other bits, including an area where stone was once quarried (if there is one thing other than water that this part of Scotland has in abundance it is stone).

Here are my photographs from the environs of Ardnamurchan Lighthouse
