Granton Lighthouse

Granton Lighthouse
Granton lighthouse is a shore-based lighthouse located on West Harbour Road in Granton, 2½ miles (4 km) north northwest of the centre of Edinburgh. It was built in 1874 as part of the Northern Lighthouse Stores and Buoy Yard. This was never an operational lighthouse, rather it was used for training purposes and to test new lights before they were transported to be fitted elsewhere.

Very spectacular architecture, Amelia. I love the colour contrast between the brickwork and the sky. All the best, Joe

What a beautiful lighthouse...........quite different from those I usually see and the building it is part of if also very attractive. I like the ornate brickwork, especially the decorative bricks around the door and windows and in the chimney stacks and the corners of the building.

Nice light and a lovely sky too. A great find and very well captured Amelia.
