Dunnet Head Lighthouse, Dunnet

This is a standard Scottish lighthouse dial, stamped at the southern edge ’DUNNET HEAD’. It shows IIII - XII - IIII - VIII, read from the outside, with a noon gap and divided to 30, 15 and 5 minutes. Although not discernable in this photograph, it will have had anti-clockwise EoT rings, and an 8-point compass rose labelled to NE etc. The maker or supplier was probably Adie and Wedderburn, Edinburgh.
