Tarbat Ness Lighthouse is was erected in 1830 by Robert Stevenson, and was rebuilt 1892. It comprises a tall circular tower on a semicircular single-storeyed base, and includes two blocks of typical Northern Lighthouse Board single-storeyed flat-roofed keepers' dwellings as well as a number of outbuildings, all of which are situated within a large compound surrounded by a random-rubble wall. The tower has a domed roof and triangular-paned lantern, beneath which there is a corbelled parapet. At the time of survey, the light had been automated and the Keepers' accommodation had been sold for private use.
