Message from Kieran - Exploring Scotland

The Butt of Lewis Lighthouse, located in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, was built in the 1860s to guide ships. It stands out with its unique red brick construction and unpainted exterior. Automated in 1998, it now boasts a modern GPS base station nearby for navigation assistance. The area around the lighthouse features ancient rocks dating back billions of years, and visitors can enjoy views of the natural arch known as the "Eye of the Butt." Overall, this quirky lighthouse is a charming beacon on the rugged Scottish coast.
