It is also home to the Museum of Scottish Lighthouses, which is certainly worth a visit. If you are a keen bird watcher, then the RSPB Troup Head is 4 miles from the cottage. Auchmedden Cottage really is set in a wonderful location where you can explore all this area of Scotland has to offer. Fishing nearby. Beach 1¼ miles. Shop and restaurant 1¾ miles, pub 1 mile.
