Flannan Isles Lighthouse is a lighthouse near the highest point on Eilean Mòr, one of the Flannan Isles in the Outer Hebrides off the west coast of Scotland. It is best known for the mysterious disappearance of its keepers in 1900.
The 23-metre lighthouse was designed by David Alan Stevenson for the Northern Lighthouse Board . Construction, between 1895 and 1899, was undertaken by George Lawson of Rutherglen at a cost of £1,899 inclusive of the building, landing places, stairs, and railway tracks. All of the materials used had to be hauled up the 45-metre cliffs directly from supply boats. A further £3,526 was spent on the shore station at Breasclete on the Isle of Lewis. The lighthouse was first lit on 7 December 1899.
