It stands on a bold, rocky promontory on the east side of South Uist , and about three miles to the South-east of Loch Skiport, the tower in which the light is situated is about eighty feet in height, and of circular shape, or build. The light is a red one, and stationary, and situated about half way up the tower, or about forty feet from the ground, but owing to the great height above Sea level, on which the building is erected, it can be seen on the deck of a vessel about 17 miles distant.
