Esha Ness Lighthouse is situated on the Northmavine peninsula in the
north-west of the Shetland Islands, Scotland. It sometimes rendered as
Eshaness Lighthouse.
The lighthouse has a tapering, square tower 12m high and was built by
David Alan Stevenson, one of the famous 'lighthouse' Stevensons, between
1925 and 1929. It was built from concrete because of the unsuitability of
local stone.
It flashes white every 12 seconds and has a nominal range of 25 nautical
miles. The light was automated in 1974 and now also serves as holiday
accommodation. It is owned by the Shetland Amenity Trust.
