Built by Robert Stevenson in 1816, this lighthouse stands on the northern tip of the Rhins, watching the shipping lanes into Loch Ryan and the Firth of Clyde. The tower is now run as a hotel, so the building itself is private, but you can walk the coast path around it and take in the view out to Ailsa Craig and Kintyre.
