at night, i like to walk past this building on George Street in Edinburgh; its very own miniature lighthouse blinks through the midnight hours:
the lighthouse & specially-designed flag mark the head office of the Northern Lighthouse Board, which operates 209 lighthouses & a slew of other Scottish navigational devices (beacons, buoys, and a nifty
webcam that looks from Scotland towards Ireland...so if the Irish ever decide to invade by sea, they'll be spotted...)
i like the spiffy Daniel Buren stripes on this Orkney lighthouse. but for true lighthouse fans, a trip to Fraserburgh is essential--there's a new
lighthouse museum up there which includes the oldest lighthouse built on mainland Scotland.
