Ardnamurchan Lighthouse is a 36-metre-tall (118 ft) pink granite tower lighthouse built in 1849 by Alan Stevenson. It is the only lighthouse in the UK built in the Egyptian style. The light was automated in 1988 and is now operated remotely by the Northern Lighthouse Board from Edinburgh.The former keepers’ cottages and outbuildings are owned by the Ardnamurchan Lighthouse Trust and operated as a visitor centre with a museum called the ‘Kingdom of Light’ – Rioghachd na Sorcha.
