More sheep looking back at the Old Light

This weather just shows why building a lighthouse on the top of the island was such a bad idea. The locals warned the Bristol businessment when they started in 1819, paying £36,000, but they were ignored.

The Old Light was decommisioned in 1898 with the construction of two lower lights at the north and south ends of the island.
