Rua Reidh Lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in Wester Ross, Scotland.
The cylindrical tower stands 25 meters tall at the entrance to Loch Ewe, featuring a balcony and lantern constructed primarily from white masonry stone.
David Alan Stevenson initiated the construction in 1908, and the lighthouse first illuminated the Scottish waters with its paraffin lamp on January 15, 1912.
The original Fresnel lens and red fog siren trumpet are now exhibited at the Gairloch Heritage Museum, preserving the maritime history of the region.
Visitors must travel down a three-mile private track to reach the lighthouse, which now functions as accommodation with guest rooms in the Principal Keeper's House.
The location offers views of whales, dolphins, basking sharks, and sea eagles, while the Northern Lights appear during specific periods of the year.
