Killantringan Lighthouse, Category B listed lighthouse in Portpatrick, Scotland.
The stone and sandstone lighthouse rises 22 meters above Black Head, featuring a white tower with 63 steps leading to the lantern room.
Construction of the lighthouse began in 1897 under the Northern Lighthouse Board, with engineer David Alan Stevenson directing the project until completion in 1900.
The name Killantringan originates from Cill shaint Ringain, referring to Saint Ninian, an important figure in early Scottish Christianity.
The lighthouse served maritime traffic in the North Channel of the Irish Sea until 2007, providing two flashes every thirty seconds as navigational guidance.
When operational, the lighthouse produced a distinctive fog signal pattern of three blasts in succession: two low notes followed by one high note.
