    A visit to the tea room at the lighthouse is a must, great home produced fayre, and hot drinks. All served up by the lady that has been there years.

      Eilean Glas lighthouse was first built in 1788, it was the only lighthouse on the western isles for many years, built here because of the islands excellent natural harbours and thriving fishing community. A new granite tower was built in 1824 raising the light to 43m above sea level. The red and white painting is more recent.
      The lighthouse was automated in 1978 and the foghorn deactivated in 1980. It’s a grade A listed building.
