Murray, who is originally from Lewis in Outer Hebrides, has found himself surrounded by lighthouses all his life.
Tarbat Ness lighthouse near Portmahomack, Easter Ross, is Grade A listed and dates from 1830. It was designed and built by Robert Stevenson. PIC: HES.
He recalled a boyhood trip to the Butt of Ness lighthouse, an experience which literally changed his view of life.
Murray, now of Shetland, said: “I remember going up to the gallery in my socks and sandals and I realised, standing there, there was this entirely different perspective on things. I felt semi-regal .Instead of always looking up at things, here I was looking down. I could see Dell Rock, I could see the pattern of the lazy beds. It was magical.
