Flannan Isles Lighthouse, Lighthouse on Eilean Mòr, Outer Hebrides, Scotland
A 23-meter tall lighthouse stands on the rocky cliffs of Eilean Mòr island, featuring a white tower with red bands and automated lighting system.
Engineer David Alan Stevenson designed the lighthouse in 1895, and construction was completed in 1899 at a cost of £6,914 by George Lawson.
The mysterious disappearance of three lighthouse keepers in December 1900 inspired numerous literary works, films, and continues to intrigue visitors today.
Access to the lighthouse requires special arrangements through chartered boats or helicopters, as the facility operates under the Northern Lighthouse Board management.
The lighthouse received wireless telegraph communications in 1925, making it one of the first Scottish lighthouses with remote communication capabilities.
