The Northern Lighthouse Board serves as the General Lighthouse Authority for Scotland and the Isle of Man, providing essential safety services to mariners since 1786. It operates and maintains a network of 208 lighthouses and 174 buoys, along with related aids to navigation, and it oversees the conformity of other navigation aid providers in its area with international standards. Through these activities, the board helps prevent accidents and incidents along the coastline, protecting lives, property, and the marine environment that underpins the regional economy. By coordinating navigation infrastructure and standards, it supports safe shipping and maritime operations in its jurisdictions. Based in Edinburgh, Scotland, the organization is a mid-sized entity serving the maritime sector. In 2023, Maxi Construction Limited won a contract to refurbish the Northern Lighthouse Board's George Street headquarters in Edinburgh, indicating ongoing facilities investment to support its mission.
