Scope and Content Kyleakin Lighthouse, Eilean Ban This small lighthouse was designed by D and T Stevenson, and built for the Northern Lighthouse Board. It is a tapering circular-section tower on a reef, with a concrete bridge and footpath linking it to a block of single-storey keepers' houses. This view shows the lighthouse, on the islet of Eilean Ban, from mainland Skye near Kyleakin. The concrete-walled footpath and bridge can be seen. This lighthouse had been automated by 1976. The natural history writer Gavin Maxwell lived in the keepers' houses for a time. When the Skye Bridge was built in the mid 1990s one of the piers was sited on this island, and the light extinguished. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
