I have been sorting some images of lighthouses for a Travel Guide and came across this image. It is one of my favourites so I thought I would share it with you to-day……
Dunnet Head Lighthouse, Pentland Firth, Scotland
Overlooking the Pentland Firth with views to Hoy and the Orkney Isles, Dunnet Head Lighthouse is the most northerly light on mainland Britain. Often windswept its position can be very bleak. But on a sunny day as above, it is an idyllic spot, standing on high cliffs with unsurpassed sea views, the air has a fresh crisp look, smell and feel. This lighthouse, like all the others in Britain, is now automatic, long gone are the days of resident Lighthouse Keepers and with them a way of life and part of our maritime history.
