Butt of Lewis lighthouse

The 121 ft tall Butt of Lewis lighthouse was designed by David Stevenson in 1862 at the northern tip of the Isle of Lewis, which is the windiest spot in the UK according to the Guiness Book of Records. I can certainly attest to the power of the winds when I was there. In 2014 a wave the height of the lighthouse was captured by a local photographer. The lighthouse has a Bi-form lens (two tiered synchronized LED marine lanterns), Outer Hebrides, Scotland.
