About Souter Lighthouse

Striking Victorian lighthouse. Now boldly painted in red and white hoops, Souter lighthouse opened in 1871 and was the first to use alternating electric current, the most advanced lighthouse technology of its day. The engine room, light tower and keeper's living quarters are all on view, and there is a DVD, model and information display. A ground-floor closed-circuit TV shows views from the top for those unable to climb.
