This elegant lighthouse and the 1811 Bell Rock Light in the North Sea are Scotland's most famous waveswept lighthouses. The base of the tower is 13 m (42 ft) in diameter with walls 3 m (9.5 ft) thick. The light marks a group of exceptionally dangerous rocks that imperil all ships approaching the west coast ports of Scotland and England around the north of Ireland. The lighthouse was badly damaged by fire on the night of 16 March 1954; after a lengthy period of restoration it was returned to service in 1959. The original signal tower in Hynish (next entry) contains the Skerryvore Lighthouse Museum. Located about 18 km (11 mi) southwest of the Isle of Tiree. Accessible mainly by helicopter; landing from a boat is dangerous. Site open, tower closed.
