Scope and Content Cromarty Lighthouse, Ross and Cromarty This lighthouse is one of three designed by Alan Stevenson for the Northern Lighthouse Board, and built in 1846, to give guidance in the northern firths. The others are Chanonry Point, near Fortrose and Covesea Skerries, near Lossiemouth. This view shows the lighthouse-keepers' cottages, built in an Egyptian Revival style favoured by Alan Stevenson, and based on a simpler pattern used by his father Robert. This lighthouse had been automated by 1980. Keepers' houses of this Egyptian style are to be found at the other two 1846 lights mentioned above, and at the two Hoy Sound lighthouses in Orkney.
