Southerness Lighthouse is a prominent maritime landmark located on the southern coast of Scotland, near the village of Southerness in Dumfries and Galloway. Erected in 1749, it holds the distinction of being one of the oldest lighthouses in Scotland. Designed by the eminent Scottish engineer Robert Stevenson, the lighthouse was crucial for guiding ships navigating the treacherous waters of the Solway Firth. The tower stands at an impressive 53 meters (174 feet) in height and is characterized by its distinctive white and black bands. Originally equipped with an oil lamp and parabolic reflectors, the lighthouse played a pivotal role in safeguarding maritime traffic and preventing shipwrecks. Over the years, the technology evolved, and the lighthouse was modernized with electric lighting. Today, the Southerness Lighthouse stands not only as a functional aid to navigation but also as a historical monument, attracting visitors who appreciate its maritime heritage and the breathtaking views it offers of the surrounding coastline and sea.
