Dunnet Head
Description : The lighthouse was built in 1831 by Robert Stevenson. James Smith of Inverness was the contractor responsible for the building of Dunnet Head. Erosion of the rock on which the original fog signal built in 1899 stood, made it necessary to abandon it and to establish another fog signal nearer the lighthouse. A third fog signal was established in 1952, but this was discontinued in 1987. Engineer Robert Stevenson
