Corsewall Lighthouse, Category A listed lighthouse in Kirkcolm, Scotland
The white cylindrical tower with black lantern and ochre trim rises 34 meters above Corsewall Point, overlooking the North Channel of the Irish Sea.
Robert Stevenson constructed the masonry lighthouse in 1816, establishing a crucial navigational aid at the intersection of the North Channel and Irish Sea.
The Northern Lighthouse Board maintains the tower operations while the former keepers' quarters now function as a hotel serving maritime heritage enthusiasts.
The lighthouse produces five white flashes every thirty seconds, with its beam reaching vessels up to twenty-two nautical miles across the water.
Three engineers concealed a message in a bottle within the structure while installing new lighting equipment in 1892, which remained hidden until 2024.
