Keeping the Light

For 200 years over 120 men lived and worked at Sumburgh Head Lighthouse. Initially there were 2 light keepers and their families, this then increased to 3 keepers with the later addition of the foghorn. Occasional keepers were also employed to cover sickness and holidays. This is the story of one of the occasional keepers.
