Eilean Musdile (Mansedale) is an islet, and lighthouse to the south west of Lismore in the Inner Hebrides. The island lies in the entrance to Loch Linnhe, separated from Lismore by a sound ¼ miles across.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=History of Lismore Lighthouse )〕 It is a low-lying rock, ten acres (4 ha) in size,〔 with some grass on it. CalMac ferries pass close to the island on their way from Oban to Mull. The lighthouse was built by Robert Stevenson in 1833 at a cost of £4260〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Lismore Lighthouse )〕 and initially showed a fixed white light.〔 In 1910 most of the Northern Lighthouse Board's lights were changed to dioptric or Fresnel lenses but Lismore and Fidra, in the Firth of Forth, were left as the only remaining purely catoptric lights in the service.〔 A Standing Stone once stood on the highest point of the island (). The monolith appears to have recorded the midwinter sunset and is thought to have been removed during construction of the lighthouse.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Eilean Musdile Standing Stone )〕 The skerry of Lady's Rock lies a short distance to the south west. ==Footnotes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eilean Musdile」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
