Welcome

The Northern Lighthouse Board is the General Lighthouse Authority for Scotland and the Isle of Man. The Board's Mission Statement is:-

To deliver a reliable, efficient and cost-effective network of Aids to Navigation for the benefit and safety of all Mariners

The Northern Lighthouse Board's principal concern is with safety: the safety of the mariner at sea; the safety of our own people employed in or around some of the world's most dangerous coastlines; and the safety of the environment in which we, and those who come after us, must live and work.

In Salutem Omnium
For the Safety of All
