The monument commemorates the loss of two troop ships in 1918, the Tuscania and the Otranto and the location overlooks the very spot where the Tuscania sunk. The monument is built in the shape of a lighthouse and is visible from many areas on Islay. A pleasant half hour meadow and moorland walk from the RSPB parking place takes one to the monument.
