Lights out

A few days ago it was reported that the lighthouse on Papa Stronsay was out. So yesterday, two technicians were dispatched to try and fix the problem.

They arrived in the morning on a chartered boat from Kirkwall.

Repairing the lighthouse.






Such a lot of light can be produced from such a small bulb!


Mission accomplished! The light sensor had been damaged and had to be replaced.
