St Mary's Lighthouse, Whitley Bay (1 of 6). St Mary's Lighthouse has a long and often bloody history. From shipwecks and smugglers, to cholera outbreaks and even a gibbeting, this is a location that seen more than it's fair share of drama.

Eilean Iarmain Lighthouse, Skye (1 of 4). The lighthouse of Eilean Sionnach is a perfect centerpiece to a quite spectacular bay, surrounded on three sides by cloud-wreathed mountains and the waters of the Sound of Sleat. It will always be one of my favorite locations.
