Scope and Content Clythness Lighthouse, Caithness This lighthouse has a short circular-section tower, a plain railed gallery, and a lantern with a single tier of triangular panes. The Keepers houses were in a flat-roofed block with bracketed eaves. This view shows the lighthouse from the north west. The cliff-top site is evident. By the time this photograph was taken the light had been automated, and the houses had been vacated. The fluted sundial was a Northern Lighthouse Board standard. This lighthouse was built as economically as possible during the First World War to provide guidance to Royal Naval vessels. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
