Completed for the Northern Lighthouse Board in 1849 by Alan Stevenson, Noss Head Lighthouse comprises a circular-section tower built from dressed ashlar, with a diagonal-paned lantern. The tower is mounted above a semi-circular single-storeyed building, and its Egyptian-style doorway matches those of the adjacent keeper's houses. The light was automated in 1987, and the ancillary buildings were subsequently sold and renovated to become the Clan Sinclair Study Centre.
