Eilean Mòr (lighthouse)

Eilean Mòr Lighthouse is a historic navigational structure located on the Isle of Muck in the Inner Hebrides, Scotland. Built in 1848, it serves to guide ships safely through the treacherous waters around the nearby islands. The lighthouse is a cylindrical stone tower equipped with a light that rotates to produce a distinctive flashing signal, warning mariners of hazards and ensuring safe passage. Modern technology has enhanced its function, but it remains an important maritime aid and a noteworthy example of 19th-century lighthouse engineering. Its remote location and rugged beauty also make it a point of interest for visitors and maritime enthusiasts.
