Hyskeir Lighthouse, Lighthouse in Inner Hebrides, Scotland
The white cylindrical tower rises 39 meters above the rocky islet, featuring a black lantern and ochre trim at its summit.
Engineers David and Charles Stevenson designed the lighthouse in 1904 to guide ships through the southern end of the Minch waterway.
Peter Hill documented his experiences at this remote station in his book Stargazing: Memoirs of a Young Lighthouse Keeper.
The Northern Lighthouse Board in Edinburgh maintains this automated navigation structure, which emits three white flashes every thirty seconds.
Lighthouse keepers created a single-hole golf course on the rocky terrain, which received television coverage before automation in 1997.
