Covesea Skerries Lighthouse On Visit To South Coast Of Moray Firth Scotland

Tour Scotland travel video clip, with Scottish music, of Covesea Skerries Lighthouse built on top of a small headland on the South coast on visit to the Moray Firth at Covesea, near Lossiemouth. The lighthouse was designed and built in 1846 by Alan Stevenson, a member of the Stevenson lighthouse engineering dynasty and uncle of the novelist Robert Louis Stevenson. In 1984, the lighthouse was automated being remotely monitored and controlled at the Northern Lighthouse Board's offices in Edinburgh, but originally, the lens was rotated by a clockwork mechanism with gradually descending weights providing the energy. The light was extinguished on 2 March 2012. All photographs are copyright of Sandy Stevenson, Tour Scotland, and may not be used without permission.
