An unlit masonry beacon sea-mark near Shaw Rock at the south end of low grassy Horse Island about a mile northwest of Ardrossan harbour (NS24SW 36.00). It was built on the advice of John Ross, later famous as an arctic navigator. The tower, built in 1811, is 52 ft high and 19 ft square at its base, tapering to form a slender pyramid.
