Vaternish Lighthouse was built on Waternish Point in 1924. The engineers were David and Charles Stevenson.[2] The original lens was donated to the Museum of Scottish Lighthouses.[3]
The present tower was built in 1980, by engineer John Smith.[4] It consists of a concrete base, aluminium light room and a GRP roof. Solar panels were installed in 2001.[5] It is accessible on foot from the road at Trumpan.
