Cumbrae Lighthouse is located on the Isle of Cumbrae in the Firth of Clyde, Scotland. Built in 1859, it was designed by the renowned engineer Robert Stevenson, part of a family known for their contributions to lighthouse design. The lighthouse stands at 18 meters tall and features a distinctive white tower with a red band. The lighthouse was automated in 1985, which means it no longer requires a keeper to operate. It plays a crucial role in guiding ships safely through the waters of the Clyde, ensuring safe navigation for both commercial and recreational vessels in the area.
