Esha Ness Lighthouse

The Esha Ness Lighthouse is situated on the Northmavine peninsula in the north-west mainland of the Shetland Islands, Scotland.

It can be accessed via the B9078 road, which runs along the western edge of the peninsula.
The lighthouse was built between 1925 and 1929 by David Alan Stevenson and Charles Alexander Stevenson, two of the famous 'lighthouse' Stevensons, grandsons of Robert Stevenson.

History

The tower is a tapering square structure 12 metres (39 ft) high, built from concrete due to the unsuitability of local stone.

The lighthouse features an octagonal lantern atop a square tower, which was built at the top of a 200 ft (60 m) high cliff.
The light flashes white every 12 seconds and has a nominal range of 25 nautical miles (46 km).

Current Status

The lighthouse was automated in 1974, and the former lighthouse keepers' accommodation is now holiday accommodation.

It is owned by the Shetland Amenity Trust.
Unusually, the accommodation was built for only one keeper, whereas most facilities housed three.

Heritage Status

The Esha Ness Lighthouse was listed in 1997, as it has some unusual features, including the use of concrete as a building material.

The remote setting of the lighthouse is largely unchanged since it was built.

Notable Historical Events

The lighthouse replaced a temporary structure constructed in 1915 on the Eshaness peninsula to warn of the Ve Skerries some 8.5 miles (13.7 km; 7.4 nmi) offshore to the south-west.

This temporary structure was removed after World War I, and it was the last lighthouse built by the Stevenson family of lighthouse engineers.

Rubha nan Gall Lighthouse

\n\n

The Rubha nan Gall lighthouse was built in 1857 by David and Thomas Stevenson, renowned Scottish engineers and builders of notable lighthouses.

\n\n

The structure has played a crucial role in maritime navigation for over 160 years.
The tower height of the Rubha nan Gall lighthouse is approximately 17 meters (56 feet), while its focal height reaches an impressive 25 meters (82 feet) above sea level.
The lighthouse features a distinctive white light, visible from a range of 15 nautical miles, and operates on a period of three minutes with a sequence of flashes.

\n\n

Light Characteristics

The lighthouse was automated in 1960 and has since been managed by the Northern Lighthouse Board.

The former keepers' cottages, located nearby, have undergone significant renovations.
One cottage has been converted into a private residence, while the other serves as a self-catering accommodation.

\n\n

Location and Accessibility
