Built in 1860, it has remarkably been automatic since 1898. Originally constructed to help navigation through the Corran Narrows, a 300 meter wide strip of water in Loch Linnhe, it is still active today with the red light visible for several miles. For those wishing to stay in the original Keeper's Cottage, you'll be pleased to note that the fog horn no longer sounds!

The lighthouse was built in 1860 by Thomas and David Stevenson and was constructed to help vessels navigate the Corran Narrows on Loch Linnhe.

The Lighthouse was one of the first in Britain to become Automatic in 1898, approximately 10 years before any lighthouses in England.
