A trim Stevenson lighthouse of 1846 standing at the tip of the Black Isle, keeping watch over the narrow entrance to the Cromarty Firth. It’s a short walk from the town of Cromarty; you can admire it from outside, and part of the grounds are open. A fine place to watch ships, and sometimes dolphins, passing through the firth mouth.
