Turnberry Lighthouse, South Ayrshire, Scotland, UK 24 metres high, with 76 steps to the top, has guarded the Ayrshire coastline since 1873. Originally commissioned by the Northern Lighthouse Board to warn passing vessels away from nearby Bristo Rock, the lighthouse is the oldest man-made structure on the Turnberry premises-with the exception of the remains of the 13th-century castle of Robert the Bruce that it initial plan to erect the lighthouse on the Rock itself proved too dangerous so instead Turnberry Point was chosen.
