Event Details
For generations, the iconic lighthouses which guide ships around Scotland’s dangerous coast were lit each sunset, watched through the night and extinguished each dawn by lighthouse keepers.
In Lighthouse Lives, historian and storyteller Erin Farley presents evocative oral histories of the men and women as they recall their time in the lighthouse service during the pivotal era of transition from manned to automatic lights.
Lighthouse Lives records unique and diverse perspectives of a vanished way of work and life. These are tales of close-knit communities, resilient families, and dedicated crews who braved the elements to keep the lights burning. Discover a powerful tribute to the courage and camaraderie that shaped the Scottish coastline.
