About

The Northern Lighthouse Board awarded a contract to RS Merriman Ltd for the construction of the Rubha Cuil-Cheanna Minor Light, located 1.1km west of Onich and 2.6km southwest of Corran overlooking Loch Linnhe.

The works involved building a 2-storey, 5.5m high prefabricated modular aluminium lattice framework tower with external GRP daymark panels, secured to a 350mm thick reinforced concrete slab on a compacted granular sub-base.

A timber post and wire fence with access gate was erected around the site perimeter.

Two marine lanterns were positioned on the second floor: a Sabik VLS-46 LED Projector to assist vessels exiting Corran Narrows travelling south and a Sealite SL-155 to guide vessels travelling north through Corran Narrows onto Fort William.

Electrical power was supplied from six batteries stored in a watertight enclosure at the base, maintained by solar panels on the south elevation, with an additional watertight cubicle on the first floor controlling the electrical operating system.

A lightning conductor was installed and connected to a buried earth mat within the site boundary.

The contract value was AUD 61,880.22.
