Old photograph of the lighthouse at Tarbat Ness, Scottish Gaelic: Rubha Thairbeirt, a headland that lies at the end of the Tarbat peninsula in Easter Ross, Scotland. It lies at the south of the entrance to the Dornoch Firth. The lighthouse was built in 1830 by Robert Stevenson and has an elevation of 174 feet and 203 steps to the top of the tower. At the Battle of Tarbat Ness in the 11th century, Thorfinn the Mighty defeated Karl Hundaso, possibly a Viking name for Macbeth.
