Scope and Content Strathy Point Lighthouse, Sutherland, Highland This was the last major light built by the Northern Lighthouse Board to be manned, and the first to be built since Esha Ness in Shetland, established in 1929. Like that lighthouse and Duncansby Head (1924), it has a square-section tower. This view shows the lighthouse from the landward side, with the short tower between the flat-roofed keepers' houses and engine room. Note the care taken with the architectural composition. The lighthouse has, in common with all other Board lighthouses, now been automated. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
