Position 55° 38'.63 N 01° 36'.58 W
The Longstone Lighthouse, or Outer Farne as it was first called, is situated on Longstone Rock, one of the Outer Staple Islands. A light was requested for these islands by Sir John Clayton in the late 17th century and by Captain J. Blackett in 1755. Unfortunately both were rejected as the Elder Brethren of Trinity House were unable to obtain the consent of the affected parties to pay a toll for the maintenance of the light.

TURNBERRY LIGHTHOUSE

£29.95 / $47.62

TURNBERRY
Turnberry Lighthouse marks a dangerous part of the Ayrshire coast, off which lies Bristo Rock which was responsible for many wrecks. No one was more aware of the toll than the Receiver of Wreck, Ayr and it was he who in 1869 suggested to the Board of Trade that a light should be erected on Bristo Rock. The matter was referred to the Commissioners, whose Engineers David and Thomas Stevenson examined the rock and reported on 18 May 1869 that it was inadvisable to erect a lighthouse on the rock itself but suggested that the best place would be on Turnberry Point, where it now stands.

Trinity House is the General Lighthouse Authority for England, Wales and the Channel Islands. Trinity House is financed from light dues levied on commercial vessels calling at ports in the British Isles and covering a sea area from Berwick upon Tweed on the North East coast, to the Solway Firth in the North West, and including the Channel Islands and Gibraltar. The task of Trinity House is to deliver a reliable, efficient and cost effective “Aids to Navigation Service” for the benefit and safety of all mariners. We provide a mix of 600 visual, audible, electronic, fixed and floating Aids to Navigation. These range from the storm lashed lighthouses like Bishop Rock in the Western Approaches, the famous Eddystone and Beachy Head Lighthouses, light vessels and buoys marking the Dover Strait, (one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world), to modern radio and radar services together with a satellite based global positioning system (DGPS). Trinity House also has a statutory
duty to mark and remove wrecks, which are a danger to navigation.
