ID:QZP40_CARD_0847DESCRIPTION:The island of Eilean-a-Chait at Plockton. Plockton Lighthouse sits on the island. Built around 1880, there was a small cottage built onto the lighthouse tower for the lighthouse keeper. As this was only big enough to accommodate one person a second house was built for the keeper's wife on the nearby island of Eilean-an-Duine. When the tide is low it is possible to wade between the two islands. The lighthouse was de-activated during the 1920s and the buildings on both islands are now privately owned. A family now occupies the house on Eilean-an-Duine but the lighthouse is closed and inaccessible to the publicPLACENAME:PlocktonDISTRICT:South West RossOLD COUNTY/PARISH:ROSS: LochalshPERIOD:1930s; 1940sSOURCE:Highland LibrariesCOLLECTION:Highland Libraries' Postcard CollectionAsset ID:32765KEYWORDS:
