Scope and Content Butt of Lewis Lighthouse, Lewis, Ross and Cromarty This tall tapering circular-section red brick lighthouse was designed by D and T Stevenson for the Northern Lighthouse Board, and is situated on the nothernmost point of the Isle of Lewis. This view shows the foghorn tower on its clifftop site. This was the tallest foghorn tower in Scotland, its height being due to its exposed situation, where breaking waves would have overwhelmed a lower horn. Since 1976 the light has, in common with all other Northern Lighthouse Board lights, been automated, and it is now controlled from Edinburgh. The cliff under the foghorn tower was undermined, and the tower has been demolished. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
