Turnberry Lighthouse marks a dangerous part of the Ayrshire coast,

off which lies Bristo Rock which was responsible for many wrecks.

The Lighthouse was designed by Engineers David and Thomas Stevenson.

They 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. It is situated close to the 9th hole of Turnberry Golf

Course in what was once the moat of Turnberry Castle, which disputes

with Lochmaben the honour of being the birthplace of Robert Bruce

(1274 -1329). Please have a look at a larger version. Your

comments/critiques much appreciated !!!
