Lighthouses and Aberdeen Aberdeenshire Lighthouse

- Guide, photos, history and details:

The Aberdeenshire coast still boasts some of the most beautiful lighthouses in Scotland. The picturesque Rattray Head Lighthouse which is set within the sea and has its own causeway is the most atmospheric lighthouse in Aberdeenshire. Though they are now all automated and have no permanent lighthouse keepers the lighthouses of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire are accessible to look around from the exterior. This includes the Boddam Lighthouse whose photo is above which has a lovely walk all the way around and is used as holiday accommodation. Other Aberdeenshire lighthouses which uses the former lighthouse keepers cottages as holiday accommodation include Todhead Lighthouse near Stonehaven.

My new novel:



The Aberdeen skies are under attack from an enemy jet. It is spilling a strange yellow smoke. Minutes later, people start killing each other.
Former Royal Air Force Regiment Gunner Jason Harper witnesses this and then his wife, Pippa, telephones him, shouting that she needs him. They then get cut off. He sets straight out, unprepared for the nightmare that unfolds during his journey. Everyone seems to want to kill him.
Along the way, he pairs up with fellow survivor Imogen. But she enjoys killing the living dead far too much. Will she kill Jason in her blood thirst? Or will she hinder his journey through this zombie filled dystopian landscape to find his pregnant wife?
The Fence is the first in this series of post-apocalyptic military survival thrillers from the torturous mind of local horror and science fiction novel writer C.G. Buswell.

Though the Aberdeen Girdleness Lighthouse is located next to a busy road it is possible to view the outside and enjoy a coastal walk. In Fraserburgh visitors to the Kinnaird Head Lighthouse can go inside the buildings and climb to the top of the lighthouse tower with a former lighthouse keeper. There is also a disabled access museum at this Scottish Lighthouse Museum and the Maritime Museum in Aberdeen also looks at the history of Aberdeen lighthouses.
