Scurdie Ness Lighthouse
United Kingdom. Scotland
At the entrance to Montrose harbour stands the tall white tower of Scurdie Ness Lighthouse.
Originally known as Montroseness, the lighthouse was established in 1870 to the design of David and Thomas Stevenson. It was first lit on 1st March 1870.
The area around the lighthouse is low-lying, and with no cliff on which to elevate the tower, the structure is an impressive 128ft tall, with 170 steps to the top.
An LED lamp was installed in January 2018.
The lighthouse cottages are privately owned.
