Tour Scotland Photograph Old Lighthouse North Queensferry Fife
Tour Scotland photograph of the old Lighthouse, North Queensferry, Fife, Scotland. The Old Harbour Light Tower built in 1812 was designed by Robert Stevenson, engineer to the Commissioners of Northern Lighthouses. The octagonal tower is built using local sandstone. A winding staircase of 24 steps leads up the tower to the Lantern Room. Every day the Lighthouse Keeper would have to climb the tower to perform routine maintenance such as cleaning the lamps and trimming the lamp's wicks.
