About Nairn East Pier Lighthouse
This octagonal concrete tower, standing 5 meters tall, was built in 1932 and first lit that same year. The light is mounted on the roof of the 6-meter focal height structure. Its white, red, and green light emits an occulting white, red, or green signal every 4 seconds. Located at the end of the east breakwater in Nairn on the Moray Firth, the lighthouse is situated 0.2 kilometers from the nearest port. The site is open to the public, though access to the tower itself is restricted.
Why it matters: The lighthouse provides specific directional guidance for vessels entering Nairn Harbour, assisting local fishing fleets and recreational boaters by indicating precise channels and potential hazards.
