Also known as Skinburness & Eastcote Light.

This lighthouse was formerly the rear light of a range.

Located on Skinburness Road about 1 km (2/3 mi) north of the harbor of Silloth, on the south side of Moray Firth. 

Established 1841, this 39 ft, square pyramidal corrugated iron skeletal tower with octagonal lantern and gallery is still active with a continuous green light.

This Light tower was "altered" in 1913, but a 1910 reference describes the tower as being wooden rather than iron, so presumably the tower was replaced in 1913. 

Lees Scar Lighthouse.

This photograph was taken using a Telephoto lens from Silloth.

The Light is mounted atop the platform of a former cottage-style pile Lighthouse. 

It gives a green flash every 10 s

Lees Scar is a submerged reef off a broad sandy beach stretching southwest from Silloth. 

Located about 600 m (700 yd) offshore about 800 m (1/2 mi) south of Silloth. 

Accessible only by boat, the Tide turns very quickly, and with the Danger of "Quick Sand", but easily seen from the Cumbrian Coastal Way
