This is the communications mast for Stornoway Coastguard http://www.mcga.gov.uk/c4mca/mcga-dops-regional/scotni-region/dops_-_all-scotni_region-sar/dops_-_all-scotni_region-sar-north/dops_-_all-scotni_region-sar-north-stwy_home.htm that dominates the horizon around Flesherin and Brocair. The building used to be the base for Coastguard Life Saving Apparatus when the Breaches Buoy equipment was used. It now houses the communications equipment that is vital for distress and safety communications for shipping in the North Minch.
