Kincardine Lighthouse
Contractor Joseph White started the project but his work was not satisfactory so he was replaced with another builder.In addition to winding the clockwork mechanism, the keeper was required to carry the fuel up the 69 steps in buckets, twice daily.In June 2015 the municipality applied for federal grants to cover part of the cost of a complete restoration.[8] Earlier, before the full lighthouse was completed, Ross Robertson was the keeper of a fixed red light on the north pier; he started that job in April 1874 but died in November.On summer evenings (July and August, excluding Saturdays) a bagpiper known as the Phantom Piper plays from the top of the lighthouse.
