Museum of Scottish Lighthouses

About Museum of Scottish Lighthouses

The Museum of Scottish Lighthouses and Kinnaird Head Castle is a 4* VisitScotland visitor attraction located in the fishing port of Fraserburgh, on the North East corner of Aberdeenshire. Your clients will have the opportunity to explore the very first lighthouse on mainland Scotland (built in 1787), which is constructed through the middle of a 16th-century castle.

Our site comprises Kinnaird Head Lighthouse, Kinnaird Head Castle, and a purpose-built museum. We offer experiences for both group and FIT clients.
