Fyr

From land, a fyr (lighthouse) is a curiosity, a funny little hut, a tower on a cliff-top. Or it could be a functional, rugged beacon as it flashes out it's incessant signal from a dramatic headland, a cliff, a cluster of rocks out at sea.
From sea, the lighthouse is a reference, a point of navigation on the map, a warning of hazards visible or not. More than that, it is a memorial to those who were wrecked and drowned, a guide to those seeking safe passage, yet still a funny pointy building sat on top of a rock.
