Fidra Island Lighthouse

Just a couple of miles from North Berwick in the Firth of Forth is the island of Fidra, which is said to be the inspiration for the map that Robert Louis Stevenson used in his book Treasure Island.    

A visit to Yellowcraig beach on a day when the weather could be best described as changeable with sunshine one minute and then pouring rain the next.  However it did provide for some spectacular lighting conditions as the white lighthouse on Fidra stood out against the dark clouds.


The lighthouse on Fidra was built in 1885 and automated in 1970 and is one of several lighthouses along the Firth of Forth, guiding ships towards Edinburgh and Leith.
