Lovely place to walk

Wednesday Wander: Scurdie Ness is a headland located on the south side of the River South Esk, which leads from the North Sea into Montrose Harbour and then into Montrose Basin. The word Scurdie is a local word for the volcanic rock found there and Ness means headland.

Scurdie Ness lighthouse was built by David Stevenson and Thomas Stevenson and was lit for the first time on Tuesday 1 March 1870.

The road to Scurdie Ness Lighthouse is a popular walk and sightings of seals and dolphins are not unusual. Whales are sometimes seen in the area including rare sightings of humpback whales. Find out more at https://visitangus.com/scurdie-ness-lighthouse/.

Friday's Fascinating Fact: Inspiration for the Bell Rock Lighthouse came from the Eddystone Lighthouse of the coast of Cornwall. This was built 50 years earlier by John Smeaton. Smeaton had modelled it on an oak tree that he had witnessed defying a storm by bending.

Stevensonโ€™s design was 30 foot higher and had more efficient reflectors, which would make the beacon the brightest ever seen. John Rennie the Chief Engineer was invited to give his advice. He was adamant that they should deviate from Smeatonโ€™s curve to deflect the terrifying force of the North Sea, so a more gradual 40 degree slope was designed and used.

After 200 years the Bell Rock Lighthouse still stands proud in the North Sea, 11 miles off the coast of Arbroath. It is the oldest surviving sea-washed lighthouse in the world. The masonry work on which the lighthouse rests was constructed to such a high standard that it has not been replaced or adapted in 200 years.

Find out more about the Bell Rock at Arbroath's Signal Tower Museum.
