There are three GNSS antennas at the top of the lighthouse but none of these are a currently active OS active station hence logged as destroyed.

More actives on top of the lighthouse & has to be "unreachable but visible" as far as Im concerned.

Got as close as possible to the grid ref. I've been there, seen them so I'm, logging them! Good view of Aberdeen, looking on to the harbour.

The lighthouse Nice views, old lighthouse, also the old Aberdeen fog horn across the road!

Well, I looked at them from outside. Good enough for me. Had these been trigs NPFBs or FBMs then I would have done my usual and just taken access regardless. These masts do not interest me enough to justify that.

No access to the actual antenna due to private land so unable to get grid reference. Took photos from outside the lighthouse complex.
