Girdle Ness Lighthouse is located on the south entrance of Aberdeen harbour. It is a beautiful sight if you fly into Aberdeen airport. Robert Stevenson engineered the construction which was completed in 1833. The facility was automated in 1991. Its day character is its strange shape wih the bump in the middle of tall tower and its night character is 2 white flashes every 20 seconds. It has a range of 22 nautical miles.
