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 top of the lighthouse from the south west. The simple cast iron railing of the 'basket' is typical of Alan's work. Note the rectangular-paned lantern, of a pattern developed by Alan's father Robert, with dolphin-shaped grab handles. This lighthouse had been automated by 1980. The keepers' houses have more recently been leased to the University of Aberdeen for use by students studying the dolphins and porpoises of the Moray and Cromarty firths.
