About

The world’s smallest working Light Tower with a unique view to the Forth Bridge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Built in 1817 by Robert Stevenson as a key part of the “Queensferry Passage” across the Forth, this tiny but critical part of Scottish maritime history has now been carefully restored to full working order. It reopened to the public in June 2010, after 120 years of disuse.  Visit the nearby exhibition on the 'Ferries' in the 'fisherman's hut', and book (via nqhtinfo@gmail.com) a unique experience of lighting our unique Argand Lamp and become an honorary Light Keeper.  For this experience we appreciate a minimum donation of £10/person.
