Review:
Pictou Lighthouse is known for its distinct Scottish flair. The lighthouse was built in 1889, and its first keeper, Alexander Fraser, was paid $120 a year to man the lighthouse and to guide ships through the Pictou Harbor.
Pictou Lighthouse underwent some renovations in 1896 that involved building two quaint light towers that stood less than 50 feet tall. Today, the lighthouses are managed by the Canadian Coast Guard and are not accessible to the public. However, it's possible to get a glimpse of the two towers from the nearby Harbour Light Campground.
