Another angle on the Dunnet Head Lighthouse, captured on a sunny but hazy afternoon, This is the most Northerly point on the British mainland and the island of Stroma forms a misty backdrop, The lighthouse which was built in 1831 is 66 feet tall and stands on the 300-foot cliff top at the Western end of the Pentland Firth.

The rotating foghorn below the Mull of Galloway lighthouse, powered by compressed air and fed by diesel generators in the engine house, the Foghorn would be operated by Lighthouse Keepers should seaward visibility drop below 4 miles, this is now fully restored to working condition but is used now only on special occasions, The pip although not the best quality shows the position of the Fog Horn relative to the Lighthouse and walled gardens. Please view large. The horn can be heard by clicking this link, volume up for full effect, www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndn8ZflyTAY Even more information mull-of-galloway.co.uk/albums/foghorn HFF and a great week to you all
