HFF~ Kyleakin Lighthouse

A view of this lighthouse and fenced pier on the small Island of Eilean Bàn taken from high on the Skye bridge itself. Built in 1857 by David and Thomas Stevenson. It was discontinued in 1993. There were originally two lighthouse keepers resident with their families on the Island in a nearby cottage. When the lighthouse keeper moved out the lighthouse residence cottage (see PiP) was bought by the writer Gavin Maxwell (Ring of Bright Water fame). After his death the cottage became derelict but has since been restored as a visitors centre.

Have a good weekend.

Thanks Lothar. Before this bridge was built, it would have been the perfect place for us to live but now -the noise of traffic on there would be unbearable.

HFF, enjoy the weekend. Herb
