A visit to Spurn Point 22 There are two lighthouses on Spurn; the newer 'High Lighthouse', painted black and white, was built 1893-95; the older 'Low Lighthouse' is visible on the left. The Lower Lighthouse', was built by engineer John Smeaton and completed in 1776. But by 1892, the structure was becoming cracked and unstable, and the new 'Upper Lighthouse' was constructed to replace Smeaton's light. The black cylinder on the top of the Lower Lighthouse is a water tank, which has replaced the former lantern turret.

Stoer Head lighthouse on the western coast of the Stoer peninsula. The cliffs are comprised of sandstones of the Stoer group (late Precambrian). They are similar to the unconformably overlying Torridonian sandstones but predate them by around 200 million years.

The Strumble Head lighthouse is located on Ynys Meicel ('Michael's Island') which itself is composed of the Strumble Head Volcanic Formation, mainly pillow lavas.
