File:Guile Point East (geograph 4790077).jpg
Otherwise known as East Old Law, this is one of a pair of navigation beacons on Guile Point. Built in the first part of the 19th Century by Trinity House of Newcastle upon Tyne, their purpose was to guide sailors into Holy Island Harbour by aligning the two beacons. By the 1990s, a solar powered light had been fitted to Guile Point East, as seen in this photo and Guile Point West (or West Old Law) became redundant. Responsibility for Guile Point East was transferred to Trinity House (as distinct from Trinity House of Newcastle upon Tyne) in 1995.

The two beacons are grade II listed.
