Somehow missed this one on the outward sailing; must have been looking the other way. Made up for it today. Love all of these lighthouses.

New in situ square replacement on original stone and concrete base hence logged as Remains. Lovely island, many well preserved cleits at S end, also has a bolt at N end, quite a few derelict houses and a herd of feral cattle!

NLB plaque ... a real lighthouse, although not the structure the OS used

Viewed from the ferry to St Margaret's Hope. Just about visible through windows in the low cloud and mist.
