The hazards of the headland north of the port had been recognised when the Northern Lighthouse Board was established in 1786, and the first lighthouse they authorised was built on top of the old castle on Kinnaird Head, and lit on 1 December 1787 (fig 17). In 1830 the light was improved and the surrounding keepers’ accommodation added by Robert Stevenson.
