The shipmaster of Aberdeen requested that a light be established at Girdle Ness, Aberdeen, following the wrecking of a whaling ship called the Oscar in 1813. There were only 2 survivors from a crew of 45. The lighthouse is 37 metres high, opened in 1833 and was designed by Robert Stevenson.The doors and windows were damaged in 1944 when a mine drifted ashore and exploded.The lighthouse building is listed as a building of Architectural/Historic interest. The main light was altered in 1847 and the old lantern which was too small, was transferred to Inchkeith. The fog horn was put into operation when visibility fell below 5 miles, but was discontinued in 1987.
A winter's evening in Aberdeen Harbour. Looking west along Waterloo Quay towards Regents Quay and Guild Base. The supply boats on the right are tied up at the Pointlaw bunkering berth. Pocra Quay is just out of sight on the right. In the distance, the skeleton of the new Regent Centre on Regent Quay rises below the crane. There is no sign of the Shetland Line Ro-Ro berth yet. This view has changed radically since the picture was taken in 1975.

Looking to the North East from the Torry side of Aberdeen Harbour, just below the fort. An oil rig supply vessel is anchored offshore, whilst a seagull perches interestedly on the coastal path signpost.
