Esha Ness Lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in Northmavine peninsula, Shetland Islands, Scotland.

The lighthouse features a white square tower with black lantern and ochre trim, standing 12 meters high on a 200-foot cliff.

David Alan Stevenson constructed this concrete lighthouse between 1925 and 1929, replacing an earlier temporary iron tower from 1915.

The lighthouse represents the last manned facility designed by the Stevenson family, known for their contributions to Scottish maritime infrastructure.

The beacon flashes white every 12 seconds with a range of 25 nautical miles, providing navigation guidance for vessels near Ve Skerries.

The former lighthouse keepers' quarters now serve as holiday accommodation managed by the Shetland Amenity Trust since its automation in 1974.
