Old Photograph Holborn Head Lighthouse Scotland
Old photograph of Holborn Head lighthouse near Scrabster, Caithness, Scotland. Designed and built by David and Thomas Stevenson, it was completed in 1862. The tower for the light is integral with the keepers' house which is unusual since most Scottish lighthouses are separate from the house. After entering the upper floor front doorway there is a vestibule with two entrances, one to the Lightkeepers House and the other to the Lighthouse Tower. There were two Lighthouse keepers houses and the Tower within the building. Separate to this was the Principal Keeper's House. The light was discontinued in 2003. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to travel and visit one day.
