Museum of Scottish Lighthouses

If you are district to Aberdeen and stuck for something to do I would strongly recommend a trip to Fraserburgh and the Museum of Scottish Lighthouses.  We visited today and although it was bitterly icy it was very worthwhile.  A small admission fee gains you access to the museum and a 45 minute guided voyage.  Rodger was our tour guide and provided a very detailed and humerous insight into the history of the lighthouse.  It was winsome to be taken back in time by someone who was very well informed and so enthusiastic about the subject.
