See Rattray Head Lighthouse, Scotland
Rattray Head is a headland in Buchan, Aberdeenshire, on the north east coast Scotland. To north lies Strathbeg Bay and Rattray Bay is to its south. The dunes at Rattray Head beach can be up to seventy-five feet high and stretch approximately 17 miles (27 km) from St Combs to Peterhead.
The 120 foot (36.5 m) Rattray Head Lighthouse was built in 1895. It was built by the engineers and brothers David Alan Stevenson and Charles Alexander Stevenson. In February 1982 it became unmanned and fully automatic.
The lighthouse is accessible via a causeway which is underwater most of the time and only visible at low tide. It is wide enough for a vehicle to cross.
Remains of several shipwrecks can still be seen on the beach today.
