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.

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.
