Rising 138 feet high from its rocky foundation, relentlessly pounded by waves that surge from the depths of the Minch, Skerryvore lighthouse has provided a beacon of hope for those in peril on the sea for almost 180 years. Built using rosy-coloured granite quarried from the Ross of Mull and shaped into 4300 blocks by a team of 80 stonemasons, it is Scotland’s tallest lighthouse; as elegant in design as it is dangerous to approach. For years, supplies arrived by boat. A perilous journey that meant travelling 11 miles southwest of Tiree to bob above the treacherous reef while essentials were hauled onto the jagged rock and dragged along a rusting iron slipway.
