The Lookout is a former wartime lookout post situated 100 yards away from the lighthouse enclosure. This cottage has an extra sitting-room and sun terrace, formed from the original lookout, with superb long-distance views from windows all around.

Set at the northern tip of Davaar Island, this cottage is connected to the mainland by a causeway, revealed by the sea for 6 hours at low tide. On arrival and departure, visitors will be ferried by Landrover across the causeway (leaving their cars at the quayside).

Once on the island, the mainland is a 15-minute walk across the causeway, and Campbeltown, with good shops and restaurants, is a further 2 miles by car.

The island's moorland, hills and rocky shore are home to a wealth of wildlife - dolphins, basking sharks, otters, seals and sea-birds are regular visitors, and even the occasional golden eagle may be seen.

There is glorious walking and many picnic spots. Locally there is good fishing, riding, sailing and golf.
