Old Photograph Skerryvore Lighthouse Scotland

Old photograph of Skerryvore lighthouse located twelve miles South West of the Isle of Tiree located South West Of Coll which is West of Isle Of Mull, Scotland. With increasing sea trade from Scotland to North America in the early 19th century it became imperative to clearly mark the reef which had claimed many ships. Skerryvore was constructed of Mull granite by a team headed by Alan Stevenson, uncle of Robert Louis Stevenson, the writer, from 1838 to 1844.
