Ardnamurchan Lighthouse & Visitor Centre This community-owned visitor centre can be found amid wonderful scenery on the Ardnamurchan peninsula

Our cafe and visitor facilities are open from 1st April to 31st October. In non-COVID seasons, the Ardnamurchan Lighthouse Trust run daily tours to the top of the tower. PLEASE NOTE: as this is an operational lighthouse, tours may be cancelled when essential maintenance is required. The old 'Stable Block' houses a charming coffee shop where you can buy hot drinks, snacks, home baking and ice cream; to be enjoyed inside or in our outdoor seating area. At the north end of the coffee shop we retail a range of souvenirs, crafts & books.
