Built 1897 by engineer D A Stevenson, Todhead Lighthouse is a short circular-section tower. A two storeyed accommodation block for keepers, and ancillary buildings, adjacent to the lightouse, are all contained within the lighthouse compound.
The compound wall and principal buildings are all built from yellow fireclay brick, much of which has been painted white, with quoins and margins painted traditional bamboo yellow. However, the courses of brick forming the top of the tower directly beneath the light itself appear to be white enamel fireclay brick.
During September 2000 Todhead Lighthouse was surveyed and visited by a RCAHMS photographic survey team. The purpose of this survey was to enhance and augment the existing holdings of the National Monuments Record Scotland.
Visited by RCAHMS (MKO), September 2000.
