Port Logan Lighthouse at sunset

Port Logan Lighthouse at sunset
Port Logan on the 'Rhins of Galloway' in Scotland is a very sleepy seaside hamlet. One of its great worthy things to see though is its old lighthouse at the end of the old pier. The pier was part of an old harbour started in 1818 designed for ships to bring cattle over from Ireland. Now only used to shelter the odd craft.:
LIGHTHOUSE TOWER: 3-stage circular tower, with open light-chamber to 3rd stage. Situated to NW of pier, incorporating and terminating parapet. Granite and sandstone ashlar. Band course between 1st and 2nd stages. Doorway to SE to ground floor chamber, with small fireplace and shelved recess. Forestair to doorway to S to 1st floor chamber; window to SW; open hatch to light chamber above (formerly accessed by ladder). Open light chamber, formed by 4 rebated square pillars carrying stone conical roof of concave profile. Latrine annexe. (http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk)
