The lighthouse was subject to German bombing on two occasions during World War II; the first attack killed the wife of an Assistant Keeper while the second killed the wife and daughter of the Principal Keeper, and a soldier, as well as destroying the lighthouse keepers' cottages. Fair Isle is an island in northern Scotland, lying around halfway between mainland Shetland and the Orkney islands.
