What Flannan Isles Lighthouse looked like in its prime.

A white cylindrical masonry tower about 23 metres tall topped by a black-glazed lantern room and encircling gallery, set against a broad grassy plateau and sheer coastal cliffs. The tower is attached to low, white single-storey service buildings and a stone retaining wall; the compound is reached by a steep, curved concrete railway bed cutting across the turf. Foreground shows rough drystone structures and short yellow-green grass speckled with small flowers, with open sea beyond.
