Tiumpan Head Lighthouse, Lighthouse on Eye Peninsula, Outer Hebrides, Scotland.
The white cylindrical tower with black lantern and ochre trim stands 21 meters tall at the easternmost point of Lewis Island.
David Alan Stevenson and Charles Alexander Stevenson designed the lighthouse, which first illuminated the waters on December 1, 1900.
Queen Elizabeth II visited in 1956 with Prince Charles and Princess Anne, marking Princess Anne's first lighthouse visit and future connection to maritime institutions.
The Northern Lighthouse Board operates this automated structure, which guides ships with its light reaching 25 nautical miles across the waters.
The former keepers' quarters now function as kennels and a cattery, while the original Fresnel lens resides at Museum nan Eilean in Lews Castle.
