This is a list of lighthouses in Scotland, that have been selected because they are still in use, are historically interesting or of interest to photographers. This list will grow over time as others are identified. One definition of a lighthouse, that we are not sticking totally to, is that a lighthouse is a building that a person can get into now or historically, that contains a light for shipping. Scotland has very many lighthouses and lights and here we don't want to add them all, just those that would be most interesting for the photographer or tourist. We have another page "List of minor lighthouses and lights - Scotland" that contains some smaller lighthouses, some of a very common block design and other lights. We graded each lighthouse from photos of it, giving them a star rating, those that were one or below have now been transferred to the minor lights listing. We have a Lighthouse Map of Scotland showing all the lighthouses on this page with hyperlinks to location guides for the lighthouse. Lighthouses with a yellow background below, are shown with a red square, the remaining with yellow squares. Where the name in the first column is hyperlinked this links to one of our Location pages with more information and over time more of these will be added. We would be delighted if some of you would like to also produce location pages. Those in the list with a yellow band, are those that are open to visitors. Items with a symbol are still being worked on to add detailed histories, and extend information. Marinas is a website that contains many great aerial images of coastal features, including lighthouses and lights, and we have, where we can identify, added a direct link into their website where you can see several images of the lighthouse, and a map identifying its position. Other images can often be found in Geograph. Star rating is just a quick guide to which are perhaps the most interesting. Codes: NLB = Northern Lighthouse Board Marinas = Marinas.com = still being worked on
