Buchan Ness Lighthouse

A photograph looking north east from Boddam towards the Buchan Ness Lighthouse.

Buchan Ness is a rocky headland to the east of Boddam, a small village 3-4 miles south of Peterhead.

The Northern Lighthouse Board website states that the lighthouse was established in 1827. Robert Stevenson was the engineer and it was built by John Gibb of Aberdeen. In 1988 the Lighthouse was automated and has been remotely monitored since.

This image likely dates from the 1970s or 80s. It is a part of a collection of slides donated to Aberdeen City Libraries by Aberdeen City Council's Publicity department.
