We have put together a display of classically inspired lighthouse objects including our fabulous ‘Skerryvore lamp’! All typical of Alan Stevenson’s interest in the classical world.

You could have been forgiven for thinking we were back in summer at Kinnaird Head today, not that we’re complaining! 🌞

It is #NationalNoBeardDay ! Popular culture suggests that beards were a compulsory look for light-keepers but we find that most 20thC keepers didn't have them. The 19thC was a different matter, as demonstrated by David M. Scott at Kinnaird Head c.1880. Impressive beard!
