Fraserburgh Heritage CentreKinnaird Head Castle Lighthouse And Museum of Scottish LighthousesMuseum of Scottish LighthousesTroup Head Nature Reserve
The Museum of Scottish Lighthouses, in Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, consists of the first lighthouse built on mainland Scotland and a purpose-built museum. The highlight of a visit is a 45 minute guided tour to Kinnaird Head lighthouse. We are open all year.
The museum building contains several galleries containing a fabulous nationally Recognised collection of glass lenses, lighting technology and social history artefacts covering the lives of the men and families who guarded Scotland’s coastline for over two hundred years. There are audio-visual displays and interactive exhibits that will engage you both in science and history. Our archives are just right for family history. For schools our Education Resources introduce the world of lighthouses through literacy, numeracy, art and science.
The Museum runs regular events, exhibitions and open days. Our next event is Beaujoulais Nouveau on 21st November. Our Friends get involved in a variety of projects including covering our net drying area in knitting this year, click here to see more.
The museum also has a café with windows looking out onto the entrance of the Moray Firth. Whales, dolphins and all manner of bird life can be seen travelling past while you sit in the warmth.
