Lighthouse summary
The in Aberdeen are a set of fantastic apartments, found in the grounds of the historic Aberdeen Girdleness Lighthouse. There are three cottages to choose from in this stunning location, all set amongst the walled compound that share a courtyard. Although it is now remotely operated, the lighthouse is a 130 ft. tower that still serves as a safety beacon.

Like the lighthouse itself, they are buildings of architectural and historic interest, with a Grade A listing with Historic Scotland.
