Strathy Point Lighthouse, Remote lighthouse in Sutherland, Scotland
The white quadrangular tower rises 14 meters above the keeper's house, featuring a black lantern and ochre trim on the north coast of Scotland.
Built in 1958, Strathy Point Lighthouse marked a milestone as the first Scottish lighthouse specifically constructed for electrical operation with a 250-watt light bulb.
Three lighthouse keepers and their families maintained this coastal sentinel until 1997, when automated systems took over the maritime safety operations.
The lighthouse contains two residential units available for weekly rentals starting at £400, offering accommodations with views of the North Sea.
The structure follows an unusual design with a hollow square layout and covered passageways that shield occupants from strong coastal winds.
