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

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.
