Ardnamurchan Lighthouse

The final 6 miles of road from Kilchoan to Ardnamurchan Point end at this 36m-high, gray granite tower, built in 1849 by the "Lighthouse Stevensons" – family of Robert Louis – on the westernmost point of the British mainland. There’s a tearoom, and the visitor center (closed due to social distancing requirements in 2020) will tell you more than you’ll ever need to know about lighthouses. The main attraction here is the expansive view over the ocean.
