Buchan Ness Lighthouse to split out into a separate article. Harami2000 07:29, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keith Inch, Peterhead furthest east.

The most easterly point of mainland Scotland is Keith Inch, Peterhead. Furthermore, according to the 1:25 000 maps. Buchan Ness is an island, at least at Mean High Water Springs. First method: Used Ordnance Surveys 1:25 000 Memory-Map software. Determined the grid references by using the cursors tip; the grid references are displayed at the bottom of the screen. Then O.Ss Coordinate transformer to convert to ETRS89 latitudes-longitudes: http://gps.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/convert.asp Memory-Map also gives WGS84 readings. However, I prefer my method. Since there appear to be slight discrepancies between WGS84 and British Grid. All coordinates and distances are approximate. Used the Geoscience Australia Website to calculate the distances: http://www.ga.gov.au/geodesy/datums/vincenty_inverse.jsp

Keith Inch, Mean Low Water Springs (MLWS), 57°30'10.34010"N 1°45'51.61973"W, grid reference NK14222,45878 is in longitude 414 metres further east, than Buchan Ness, MLWS, 57°28'11.38414"N 1°46'16.51177"W, NK13820,42198. Keith Inch, Mean High Water Springs (MHWS), 57°30'10.09529"N 1°45'59.13034"W, NK14097,45870 is in longitude 292 metres further east, than Buchan Ness, MHWS, 57°28'11.86953"N 1°46'16.68880"W, NK13817,42213. Second method: OS Explorer 1:25 000 paper maps. Use a ruler to measure the grid references. Then O.Ss Coordinate tranformer to obtain the latitudes-longitudes. Keith Inch, MLWS, 57°30'10.43677"N 1°45'51.43889"W, NK14225,45881 is in longitude 415 metres further east, than Buchan Ness, MLWS, 57°28'11.44860"N 1°46'16.39133"W, NK13822,42200. Keith Inch, MHWS, 57°30'9.86860"N 1°45'58.95157"W, NK14100,45863 is in longitude 294 metres further east, than Buchan Ness, MHWS, 57°28'11.99877"N 1°46'16.62797"W, NK13818,42217. Third very simple method: On the 1:25 000 Ordnance Survey Explorer 427 Peterhead & Fraserburgh map (1:50 000 Landranger 30 is also suitable). Look at the top-right of the map, for the LONG 1°47'W mark. You will see that it is very slightly left, of the 13 easting line. On the bottom-right of the map, the LONG 1°47'W mark is very slightly right of the 13 easting line. This shows that going north, on a easting line. Means also going slightly further east, i.e north-east. Going south on a easting line, also slightly further west, i.e south-west. However, for all practical purposes. Anything that appears to be further east or west, is actually further east or west. You will see that Buchan Ness, NK1342 fails to reach the 14 easting line and that Keith Inch, NK1445 goes quite a way past the 14 easting line. This method only requires one to look at the map.
