Staffin Bay at Dawn - Isle of skye (1 x note)

Staffin Bay at Dawn - Isle of skye (1 x note)
The note indicates Rona lighthouse (or South Rona as it is now known as the island of North Rona off of the north of Scotland/Lewis also now has a light on it) was first lit in 1857. The station was designed by David and Thomas Stevenson.

Before the lighthouse was built, a widow displayed a candle in the window of her house on Rona to guide ships away from the rocks.

The lighthouse was automated in 1975.

To see a candle on land from at sea indicates that there can have been no light pollution whatsever in those days!
Another splendid scene and shot, Doug!
Best wishes,

A bit optimistic perhaps but the widow had lost her husband to the sea in that area. Thanks for the visit and kind comments Andy.

Doug Shepherd club has replied to Tanja - Loughcrew club
The lighthouse www.geograph.org.uk/photo/718080 is painted white so reflects the dawn light very well. On this occasion I happened to catch the actual light as it flashed. Thanks so much for your visit and kind appreciation Tanja.

Have a good day
