daamn.net Information about Rattray Head
Rattray Head (historically Rattray Point) is a headland in Buchan, Aberdeenshire, on the north east coast Scotland. To north lies Strathbeg Bay and Rattray Bay is to its south. The dunes at Rattray Head beach can be up to seventy-five feet high and approximately 17 miles (27 km) long and stretches from St Combs to Peterhead.[1][2] The 120 foot (36.5 m)[1][2] Rattray Head Lighthouse lighthouse was built in 1895.[3][4] It was built by the engineers and brothers David Alan Stevenson and Charles Alexander Stevenson. In February 1982 it became unmanned and fully automatic.[1][2] The Lighthouse is accessible via. a causeway which is underwater most of the time and only visible at low tide. It is wide enough for a vehicle to cross. Remains of several shipwrecks can still be seen on the beach today.[1][2] Boddam · Crimond · Cruden Bay · Fetterangus · Hatton · Longside · Maud · Mintlaw · New Deer · New Pitsligo · Peterhead · St. Combs · St. Fergus · Strichen · Stuartfield Buchanhaven · Inverugie · Lonmay · New Byth · Old Deer Aden Country Park/Aberdeenshire Farming Museum · Bullers of Buchan · Crimonmogate · Deer Abbey · Formartine and Buchan Way · Loch of Strathbeg · Maritime Heritage Museum · Rattray · Rattray Head · Slains Castle Coordinates: 57°36′43″N 1°49′27″W / 57.61187°N 1.82425°W / 57.61187; -1.82425
