Bressay Lighthouse

A short film of the Bressay Lighthouse at Kirkabister Ness, Bressay, Shetland. Built between 1856 and 1858, it was designed by the brothers David and Thomas Stevenson, its light protecting mariners entering Lerwick Harbour for over 150 years. On 12 September 2012 the lighthouse shone for the last time, replaced by a 10 mile visibility LED beacon provided by Lerwick Port Authority. The site is now used for holiday accommodation, although the lighthouse itself and associated buildings are kept in a good state of repair.
