Description
Scotland, Point of Ardnamurchan, west coast
One very late afternoon we reached the lighthouse of Point of Ardnamurchan at the open sea.
It is a 36-metre-tall (118 ft), pink granite tower lighthouse built in 1849 by Alan Stevenson and is the only lighthouse in the UK built in the Egyptian style.
The light was automated in 1988 and is now operated remotely by the Northern Lighthouse Board from Edinburgh.
The last part of the computer game Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened takes place in this lighthouse.
Have a good start into the new week! ;o)
