This fascinating museum provides an insight into the network of lights that have safeguarded the Scottish coast for over 100 years, and the men and women who built and maintained them. A guided tour takes you to the top of the old Kinnaird Head lighthouse, built on top of a converted 16th-century castle; the engineering is so precise that the 4.5-ton light assembly can be rotated by pushing with a single finger.
The anemometer here measured the strongest sea-level wind speed ever recorded in the UK, with a gust of 123 knots (142mph) on 13 February 1989.
