Lighthouse Light
I must admit that I wasn't very interested when the STS group of photographers visiting Skye decided to go to Isleornsay (Eilean Iarmain in Scottish Gaelic). Although the light at this location can be excellent, I lacked a long enough lens to do it justice - so many thanks to Mark Waidson for kindly lending me his 70-300mm lens. The light certainly did cooperate on this occasion, lighting up the snow-covered Beinn Sgritheall (974 m) on the mainland and the lighthouse on a small tidal island. The lighthouse is one of the Stevenson lighthouses, built in 1857. It was automated in 1962, became privately owned and is now used as a holiday let.
