Wick Heritage Centre
The original Noss Head Light, with all its working parts, is one of the most important displays in the Wick Heritage Museum. Manned by a series of Light Keepers over the years it finished its working days when the light was changed to automatic. It was then dismantled and rebuilt in Wick Heritage Museum. Designed and supervised by Alan Stevenson, uncle of Robert Louis Stevenson, it was completed in 1849 by Robert Arnot of Inverness. The Fresnel lens, which is approximately 6ft in diameter, rotates by clockwork machinery around a mercury vapour lamp.
