Brough of Birsay Lighthouse
The Brough of Birsay Lighthouse, perched on a rugged tidal island off the northwest coast of Orkney Mainland, provides a striking location for coastal photography. Built in 1925, this remote lighthouse sits atop dramatic cliffs and overlooks expansive views of the Atlantic Ocean. Accessible by a causeway during low tide, the walk to the lighthouse offers opportunities to capture tidal pools, seabirds, and sweeping seascapes. Photographers will find golden hour particularly rewarding, as the low light bathes the cliffs and beacon in warm tones, contrasting beautifully with the often moody skies. Weather can change quickly, so proper gear is recommended. (Birsay, Orkney, Scotland)
