Lighthouse of the Week, June 2-8, 2019: Bass Rock, Scotland


This week's lighthouse is Bass Rock, which is an island in Scotland's Firth of Forth.  The island is most famous for its rookery of gannets, which at peak is estimated to number over 150,000.  So the island is basically a rock with birds and a lighthouse.

Here's more information about the lighthouse.

Simple facts:  It was built in 1903, and it's 20 meters tall.

And the pictures of it (and the video) are pretty amazing.
