A remote former lighthouse with panoramic views out over the Pentland Firth and out to Orkney has been put up for sale. Holborn Head Lighthouse, a renovated B-listed Stevenson lighthouse, sits near Scrabster, Caithness. Constructed in 1862, the light was permanently discontinued in 2003 and the building purchased by the current owners in 2006. The former lighthouse keepers’ flats and tower have been sensitively converted and renovated and today it’s a unique residential property.
