In 1786 the Northern Lighthouse Board was established and in 1787 the board built its first lighthouse, which is today the only lighthouse that was constructed on a fortified castle. Its location was Kinnaird Head and it is now a part of the Museum of Scottish Lighthouses. Kinnaird Head lighthouse was reconstructed inside the walls of the Kinnaird Castle in 1824 and played a significant role in the history of maritime and lighthouses in Scotland. So, when the lighthouse was eventually decommissioned in 1991, the decision was made to preserve it, and together, the Scotland’s Lighthouse Museum Trust and Historic Scotland, created the Museum of Scottish Lighthouses, which is one of the most visited attractions in Scotland.
