One of the very interesting observations we have made is the enormity of different lighthouses we have seen on our travels. I guess I was caught up in the thought that lighthouses were tall round things with a light at the top.
Not so!!
here are some that we have seen along the way – interesting and beautiful constructions
Lighthouse Boulogne sur mer
Kronborg is actually also a lighthouse albeit a pretty fancy one
beautiful lighthouses – Inverness, Scotland
Small lighthouse in the middle of nowhere – Scotland
Hudson River 1

The little red lighthouse and the great gray bridge – George Washington Bridge NYC
wonderful lighthouses here on the Chesapeake
and another different one
The iconic lighthouse on Cape Hatteras This is what we think of when we think of lighthouses
Your first Scottish lighthouse is Corran Narrows, just south of Fort William. This is the first west coast lighthouse you would see after leaving the Caledonian Canal. The second Scottish lighthouse is Cutter Rock, just south of the town of Oban. This type is a fairly recent solar powered light and replaces small isolated gas powered lights.
