Toward Point Lighthouse, Category B listed lighthouse in Toward Point, Scotland
The circular stone tower rises 19 meters above the coastline, featuring a glazed lantern and copper roof at its summit.
Robert Stevenson constructed the lighthouse in 1812 to guide vessels navigating between the Isle of Bute and mainland Scotland.
The lighthouse and its keeper's cottages represent the maritime heritage of the Cowal Peninsula and Firth of Clyde region.
The automated light system emits a flash every 10 seconds and remains visible up to 26 kilometers in clear weather conditions.
The structure stands at the southwestern end of the Highland Boundary Fault, marking a geological transition between sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
