EILEAN BAN
Small island, now overshadowed by the concrete stanchions that use it as a launching pad for the Skye Bridge.
Lighthouse, D. & T. Stevenson, in operation 1857-1960, linked by causeway to keepers' houses, a pair of single-storey, back-to-back ranges, stylishly converted in 1968 by Gavin Maxwell as his last home. Recently restored from dereliction by Eilean Ban Wildlife Trust as a warden's residence and small museum.
