Channory Lighthouse at Fortrose on the Moray Firth on the Black Isle,Highland Region. Scotland.
Chanonry Lighthouse, originally a 'one-man station', is situated on the Black Isle, south of Rosemarkie, as the moray Firth narrows between Chanonry Point and Fort George. The establishment of a light on Chanonry Point was first proposed in 1834 and again in 1837 by the Commissioners' Engineer, Alan Stevenson, but it was not until 1843 that the motion to erect such a lighthouse was approved by the Commissioners. In May 1843 the Commissioners made representations to Trinity House who duly approved the proposed seamark in July 1843. The station was automated in 1984 and is now remotely monitored from the Northern Lighthouse Board’s offices in Edinburgh.
