Old Photograph Sule Skerry Lighthouse Scotland
Old photograph of Sule Skerry lighthouse located West of the Orkney Islands, Scotland. Sule Skerry is a remote skerry in the North Atlantic. A skerry is a small rocky island, usually defined to be too small for habitation; it may simply be a rocky reef. A skerry can also be called a low sea stack. Sule Skerry lighthouse was the most remote manned lighthouse in Great Britain from its opening in 1895 to its automation in 1982. Its remote location meant that construction could only take place during the summer, thus it took from 1892 to 1894 to complete. The Great Silkie of Sule Skerry is a story and song of a Silkie who lives on Sule Skerry.
