Mull of Kintyre lighthouse was originally established in 1788 and the circular tower of harled rubble masonry which forms the nucleus of the present complex of buildings probably dates from this period. The house on the NE dates from 1857 and that on the SE from 1883. An early reflecting mechanism from the lighthouse is preserved in Campbeltown Museum.
