Tiumpan Head Lighthouse Tiumpan Head is located at the far eastern end of Point in Lewis. The lighthouse located here marks the western limit of the Minch. Designed by David and Charles Stevenson, it was first lit in December 1900. Still an active lighthouse today, it was automated in 1985. It is a Category C listed building (LB19209 <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB19209" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB19209">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> Historic Environment Scotland).

Tigh-sholuis Rubh an t-Siumpain (Tiumpan Head Lighthouse) The lighthouse stands at the tip of the Eye Peninsula. It is 21 metres (69 feet) tall, and dates from 1900. It has been automated since 1985, and the buildings are now occupied by a kennels and cattery. The headland is named as Ceann an t-Siumpan on the 1:25,000 map, which seems rather odd.
