It warms my heart to see so many lighthouses beaming out into the chilly night in the far north of the British Isles, near Orkney and the Shetlands.
But what are those two lighthouses due west of Orkney? I know of no land there. They're well north of the Hebrides.
It's also fun to see there's a lighthouse in the middle of Scotland! I think that one is on Loch Ness. But where, exactly?
Odd that there are none on the west coast of Ireland.
So you can see the details, I'm only showing you the top of this beautiful map made by npub1f8uzrvkeks7lw3a5c9s0hlmjjtya3zt9mq4ugle39ksgc52py0fq4c6jw9 (npub1f8u…6jw9), The whole thing is here:
