LIGHTHOUSES

LIGHTHOUSES

Today we are looking at lighthouses. A lighthouse is a tower, building, or other type of structure designed to emit light

from a system of lamps and lenses or, in older times, from a fire, and used as an aid to navigation for pilots at sea or on

inland waterways.

Lighthouses are used to mark dangerous coastlines, hazardous shoals and reefs, and safe entries to harbors, and can also

assist in aerial navigation. Once widely used, the number of operational lighthouses has declined due to the expense of

maintenance and replacement by modern electronic navigational aids.

In Scotland, the Northern Lighthouse Board look after lighthouses. They are responsible for the superintendence and

management of all lights, buoys and beacons within this area. The majority of these aids to navigation are provided by

harbour authorities and other local bodies under the supervision of NLB. However, most of the significant lighthouses

and other aids to navigation outside harbour limits are provided directly by the Northern Lighthouse Board.
