Tour Scotland photograph of Muckle Flugga Lighthouse, north of Unst in the Shetland Islands, Scotland. Muckle Flugga, a small rocky island, is home to the Muckle Flugga Lighthouse, built by Thomas and David Stevenson in 1854, originally to protect ships during the Crimean War. Muckle Flugga was one of the few lighthouses in Scotland which had a separate shore station that served as accommodation for the lighthouse keepers when they were off duty, similar to Sule Skerry and its shore station in Stromness, Orkney. The shore station was sold off when the lighthouse was automated.
