As for the apparitions – Joyce, the last lighthouse keeper’s daughter, likes to blame the fumes from the Brasso with which the keepers polished the rails and fittings of the lighthouse. Failing eyesight unchecked by spectacles? Mental fatigue from weeks of watch-keeping? Too much whisky?

A Principal lighthouse keeper, William Mowatt, died on the island in February 1893. The Northern Lighthouse Board Register does not record whether William fell from the tower or drowned while out in a boat collecting stores or fishing, or from natural causes. William is the only person to have died on the island since the first lighthouse keeper stepped ashore in 1855. Before that time, we’ll never know . . .

The stories filter down, the ghostly goings-on go on.
