This shore lighthouse on the E side of the Outer Clyde Estuary was built by David and Thomas Stevenson, being one of the 29 that they built together between 1854 and 1878. It was established in 1873, and was automated (as a major automatic light) in 1986; it has since been sold to the golf course.
This lighthouse has also served as the land base for the helicopter relief of Ailsa Craig lighthouse.
