Argyllshire

Location Guide |
This lighthouse in on the headland at the junction of the Clyde with the Kyles of
Bute, the loch separating the Isle of Bute from the mainland. It is accessible by
road, just off the end of the A815 highway south of Innellan, at the village
of Toward. It can be seen from the Ferry from Wemyss Bay, nr Skelmorlie on the mainland to
Rothesay on the Isle of Bute.
The smaller building is the foghorn house which
originally contained a steam
engine and then diesel engines, to drive the compressors that powered the foghorn.
It was taken out of operation in the 1990s.
