About Eileanan Dubha Lighthouse
The Eileanan Dubha light structure is a 5-meter tall, square skeletal tower covered with white aluminum panels. It is situated on a rock in Loch Alsh. The light produces a white flash every 10 seconds and has a geographic range of 10 nautical miles. Access to the site is permitted, but the tower is not open for entry. The nearest port is Kyle of Lochalsh, located 0.3 kilometers distant.
Why it matters: This navigational aid marks a rock within Loch Alsh, warning mariners of potential hazards in the waterway. Its white aluminum cladding serves as a visual marker during daylight.
