HFF~NC500 GT. - 48 – Thurso

HFF~NC500 GT. - 48 –  Thurso
A short walk along Thurso's Scrabster harbour brings us to this splendid lighthouse.

Just around the bay from Thurso on the western headland of Scrabster is Holburn Head Lighthouse. Close by in the harbour, ferries run from Scrabster to Stromness in Orkney.

Another David & Thomas Stevenson design. A light was first exhibited at Holburn Head on 1st September 1862, displaying a flashing white light towards the Pentland Firth and Thurso Bay. A red light sector shone towards Scrabster Roadstead. Discontinued in 2003.

The NC 500: The Scottish 'North Coast 500' is one of the world’s most beautiful road trips. A route of just over 500 miles (516) of stunning coastal scenery, white sandy beaches, rugged mountains, remote fishing villages and hidden gems.

Cheers Carol. I used to think a picture should speak for itself not requiring any information but soon realised after viewing many more photos that we all crave info. So now I am on overkill sometimes :). Glad you liked the whole package.

HFF enjoy the weekend too. Herb

No it is not overkill Herb. I for one like to know about the places I see on ipernity. It is like getting to know the place behind the picture.

Such a nice looking lighthouse, which looks great against the blue sky. A beautifully detailed capture Herb.

I looked this one up and note that the light is no longer operational and that the buildings are in private ownership now..........what a great place to live..!!

Yes I was lucky with this one Keith, having suitable weather. We walked all around it and I did a few snaps, naturally.

Cheers. Herb
