Pepperpot (lighthouse)
A Pepperpot or Salt Shaker lighthouse is a type of small lighthouse that has an architectural style similar to a scaled up salt or pepper shaker. These lighthouses feature a square tapered base with a single gallery and a square lantern. They are usually shingled in wood and painted white; the lantern and trim are red. Many such lighthouses still exist across Canada, especially in the Maritime provinces.[1][2]
Three Pepperpot lighthouses exist in the Caledonian Canal in Scotland. These are of a slightly different design, consisting of a short round tower with a conical roof.[3] St. Catherine's Oratory a medieval lighthouse on St. Catherine's Down on the southern coast of the Isle of Wight, is also known locally as "the pepperpot".
