Loch Indaal Lighthouse

I know we post a lot of pictures of the lighthouse in Port Charlotte, but hey, its a very handsome lighthouse...  It was built in 1869 by the Stevenson family.  This was taken last Saturday.

Great weather forecast - Loch Indaal Lighthouse and the Paps of Jura

After two days of difficult weather it is great to have some sunshine and a decent weather forecast for the weekend.  Not to mention some food in the Co-op.  Its hard, living without bananas...

Loch Indaal Lighthouse

Loch Indaal lighthouse was built by the Stevenson family (of Robert Louis Stevenson/Treasure Island) in 1869.  The original Victorian clockwork interior was intact until the building was 'modernised' by the Northern Lighthouse Board around the year 2003.

It is an excellent place to watch for otters as the rocks beneath the tower offer a good view up and down the coast in an area where they are often seen.

The story of the "Lighthouse Stevensons" is to be told by a Caledonia TV programme currently in production for BBC Scotland early next year.

Les Wilson, the director and a partner in Caledonia TV has a house in Port Charlotte.
