Lighthouse keeper wanted for north-westerly corner of Britain

Northern Lighthouse Board looking for someone to maintain lighthouses at Cape Wrath and Stoer Head

The role of a retained lighthouse keeper is, says Barry Millar, an extremely attractive job. At 74, the former biology teacher has no intention of quitting his position maintaining 10 lighthouses across Ayrshire and Galloway across Scotland's south-west coast.

And his message to anyone considering an application to fill the vacancy for a keeper at the most north-westerly point on mainland Britain is simple: Give it a go."
