Girdle Ness Lighthouse supported by wild flowers under a dramatic sky. Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland

The wrecking of the whaling ship Oscar here in 1813 with the loss of all but two of her crew of 45 led to the building of this lighthouse in 1833. Erected on the headland to the south of Aberdeen harbour, it has an unusual design with two lights on the same tower. The lower light was contained in a glazed gallery only a third of the way up the tower. This was discontinued in 1890 but you can still see the bulge where the light used to be. www.welcometoscotland.com/things-to-do/attractions/histor... also see Northern Lighthouse Board www.nlb.org.uk/LighthouseLibrary/Lighthouse/Girdle-Ness/
