Visit the world's smallest working Light Tower

Discover one of Fife's smallest historic sites and light the lamp

Take a trip to North Queensferry and visit the truly unique Light Tower, close to the UNESCO World Heritage Forth Bridge. Built in 1817 by Robert Stevenson, it has been lovingly restored. Climb the 24 stairs up to the lamp and after a short introductory course on lighthouse procedures and optics you can light the lamp and receive a Certificate of Competence which states that you are thereby an “Honorary Keeper of the Harbour Light Tower at North Queensferry, in the Kingdom of Fife”.
