North Queensferry Harbour Light Tower
6 minute walk from North Queensferry station · Stirling, Central and Fife · Free entry
A tiny but iconic lighthouse located at the harbour entrance on the Firth of Forth. Built in the 19th century, it was designed to guide vessels safely into the busy harbour and mark the edge of the quay. Its simple, white-painted structure stands out against the water and sky, making it easy to see from a distance. Visitors can enjoy views of passing boats, the Forth Bridges, and the surrounding coastline.
