The Museum of Scottish Lighthouses, based in the bustling fishing port of Fraserburgh on the North East corner of 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 round. The Museum is currently recruiting for volunteers across all of our activities.

The award winning Museum of Scottish Lighthouses building contains several galleries housing an incredible 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. For schools, our Education Resources are fully CFE linked and introduce the world of lighthouses through literacy, numeracy, art and science.
