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.

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.

Best wishes Carol
