Museum of Scottish Lighthouses

Museum of Scottish Lighthouses has the largest collection of lighthouse lenses and equipment in Scotland. The museum building contains several galleries containing a fabulous collection of glass lenses, lighting technology and social history artefacts covering the lives of the men and families who guarded Scotland's coastline for over two hundred years. There are audio-visual displays and interactive exhibits that will engage you both in science and history.

There are guided tours of Kinnaird Head lighthouse, the first lighthouse built on mainland Scotland. The historic lighthouse has a paraffin store, living quarters and within the tower it houses the largest type of lighthouse lens ever made in its upper light room.

The museum has a souvenir shop and a restaurant, which offers stunning views of the Moray Firth and serves home-cooked meals featuring fresh produce and a selection of home baked goods.
