Light the North

In March 2021, we will shine a light across the north-east, Orkney and Shetland with over forty-five lighthouses designed and created by some of the regions most talented artists continuing the region’s cultural revolution.

This project is brought to you by CLAN Cancer Support, in partnership with Wild in Art, to raise significant funds and awareness to the vital support provided by CLAN to people affected by cancer across the north-east, Moray, Orkney and Shetland.

2021 is Visit Scotland’s year of Scotland’s Coasts and Waters, which will be celebrated with a programme of activity designed to inspire both visitors and locals to explore and experience our unrivalled shores. This ties in perfectly to our trail plans and is especially pertinent to the north-east of Scotland which has been reliant on marine-based endeavours from fishing to the oil and gas industry.

The lighthouse trail will take people on a cultural tour of the north-east, Orkney and Shetland, letting them discover and engage with our beautiful region like never before.
