{{Short description|None}} {{Use dmy dates|date=May 2024}} {{Use British English|date=December 2016}} {{GeoGroupTemplate}} This is a '''list of lighthouses in Scotland'''. The [[Northern Lighthouse Board]], from which much of the information is derived,<ref>{{Cite web|title=Lighthouse Library|url=http://www.nlb.org.uk/LighthouseLibrary/Main/|publisher=Northern Lighthouse Board|access-date=23 June 2015}}</ref> are responsible for most lighthouses in Scotland but have handed over responsibility in the major estuaries to the port authorities. Many of the more minor lights are not shown. A lighthouse that is no longer operating is indicated by the date of closure in the ''operated by'' column. Where two dates are shown, the lighthouse has been rebuilt. Nearly all the lighthouses in this list were designed by and most were built by four generations of one family, including [[Thomas Smith (engineer)|Thomas Smith]], who was both the stepfather and father-in-law of [[Robert Stevenson (civil engineer)|Robert Stevenson]]. Robert's sons and grandsons not only built most of the lights, often under the most appalling of conditions, but pioneered many of the improvements in lighting and signalling that cut down the enormous loss of life in shipping around the coasts of Scotland.<ref>{{cite book|last=Bathurst|first=Bella|title=The Lighthouse Stevensons|url=https://archive.org/details/lighthousesteven00bell_0|url-access=registration|year=1999|page=xvii|publisher=Harper Collins|isbn=9780060194277 }}</ref> The table may be sorted by any column by clicking on the heading. __TOC__ {{clear right}} ==Lighthouses== {| class="wikitable sortable" style="margin:auto;text-align:center" !
