The Sule Skerry Lighthouse, completed in 1895, is showing “considerable signs of weathering.” Described as the “most isolated lighthouse in the British Isles”, the planning documents go into detail about the history of both Sule Skerry and how the beacon came to be build. Plans for a lighthouse on Sule Skerry were drawn up in 1891, designed by David and Charles Stevenson. “Lighting was delayed for a further year due to arguments about the cost and type of the apparatus,” the planning report says. “The exterior of the lighthouse has been repainted and repaired many times over the years,” the planning report says.
