Lighthouse Lives is coming to Kirkcudbright Fringe on 3rd September!
The west of Scotland is a place of magic and mystery to me, so this one feels like an adventure (I promise I am allowed out of Dundee, but not that often.) And I have very fond memories of the lighthouse interviews in the south-west, so I'm looking forward to being back there reflecting on it all and sharing the stories ten years later.
For generations, the iconic lighthouses which guide ships around Scotland’s dangerous coast were lit each sunset, watched through the night and extinguished each dawn by lighthouse keepers.
