This was the only footage that I have done of Scottish Lighthouses.
It was a chance that we were given to rent the then holiday accommodation at the Mull of Galloway Lighthouse in an ex Lighthouse Keepers dwelling.
I went with my Family and in between the normal holiday things, I filmed where we were and the other Lighthouses and interesting things in the area.
Without the great help of ex Assistant Lighthouse Keeper Ian Duff from the Northern Lighthouse Board, most of the Lighthouse details would not have been found to include in this footage.

The foghorn at Mull of Galloway is functional again. It was restored to working condition between 2018 and 2019. It and the Sumburgh foghorn are the only two iconic red trumpet horns in Scotland that are operational. There are videos of the Galloway Foghorn sounding its first blast following restoration on RU-vid. The status of the foghorn at Kinnaird Head is currently unknown. A recording of the horn can also be found on RU-vid. The Supertyfons at North Ronaldsay are also still in working order. Killantringan, along with Barns Ness and Tod Head were deactivated in 2006 and 2007 respectively.

Lovely video and now a precious record of these structures and on your other videos, a record of life that is now history. Am sure brought back many memories. Recall my childhood on family holidays, amuses me to think in my case with my father (who was keen on architecture) was a cry of "oh no not more churches and stately homes".

Thanks. yes it was a lot like a "Busmans" Holiday Ha Ha! If I didn't have an understanding Wife & Family, probably most of these videos wouldn't have happened....but we did do all the other things too, beaches, swimming etc Honest! cheers and stay safe.

I bet you have that foghorn as a ringtone on your phone. In 91' my 2 daughters were the same age as your kiddos in the lighthouse, they had little interest in dad's job and at age 5 the oldest was concerned she would have to join the Navy! I would think that would be a big deal back then, 'What does your dad do?' My daddy is Mr. Lighthouse!

@PeterHalil 3 года назад

Cheers Bender, I think my kids were like yours , not really interested too much in what Dad did for work. I remember doing a "talk" at their primary school on working in a Lighthouse and the kids were more interested in the giant lighthouse bulb I took along.

Another great video Peter thank you . Love the fog signal lower down the cliff like that , must have been a hard job to instal all the pipe work needed to the engine room . Keep up the good work 💡👍🏻👍🏻

@PeterHalil 3 года назад

Thank you David, Yes, miles of pipework there down to the fog horn, I wonder how they kept the ice at bay down there in the Winter. Cheers and stay safe

Why does that lighthouse not have a fresnel lense but a box with lights?

@PeterHalil 3 года назад

I've no idea but we had a then new Dungeness lighthouse with the same system, it worked at the time, but it never seemed to catch on throughout the service. Just trying new technology at the time, maybe

Yay something about Scottish lighthouses

@PeterHalil 2 года назад

Yay indeed, I would love to have been able to do more, but time and circumstances caught up. Cheers and take care Andrew.

@@PeterHalil You are amazing to have caught all the lighthouses on film. A true documentary maker. Thank you 🙏

@spiercephotography 3 года назад

Thank you for sharing these; I've been watching/lurking your channel for a while as a big fan of lighthouses. Such an interesting look at them. I love the sound of the foghorn!

@PeterHalil 3 года назад

Thank you Steph for your kind words, I too love the sound of those fog horns. Take care and stay safe.

@oscarosullivan4513 3 года назад

Thanks, first to comment. When this pandemic clears you could try to visit some Irish lights. The three which you could try are Blacksod, Bailey and Cromwell point

@PeterHalil 3 года назад

I must try and complete a few here first then that sounds like that might be an idea if they will let me.

@oscarosullivan4513 3 года назад

@@PeterHalil Cromwell point can be visited, the Bailey has a museum but like the transport museum you must call ahead, Blacksod is I think occupied or the Attending keeper lives nearby. You could contact them and say you are a lighthouse historian

@@oscarosullivan4513 Yes that's the great shame about them , that normal working class will probably not be able to afford to go there.
