At the End of the World

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Ardnamurchan Point is the most westerly point of the British mainland and can be reached via a very long, very twisty, mainly single track road. The whole journey seems to take forever but I think the views out there makes the whole effort worthwhile.
Near the promontory there is a 36 metre tall, pink granite lighthouse built in 1849 by Alan Stevenson. It is the only lighthouse in the UK built in the Egyptian style. Nowadays, the light is operated remotely by the Northern Lighthouse Board and the original housing for the lighthouse keepers now contains a museum called the 'Kingdom of Light' - Rioghachd na Sorcha, run by the Ardnamurchan Lighthouse Trust. |

Impressive landscape, it gives a feeling of loneliness and desolation, indeed the end of the world. Beautiful sky, sea and rocks.
