FACT SHEET SC0004
The commissioners to this day still undertake an annual inspection tour around the lighthouses. In 1908 this tour starting in Leith visits Dunnet Head Lighthouse via the North Carr Lightship and Stromness Orkney.
The (NLV) Northern Lighthouse Vessels seen in the image collection include Pharos and Hesperus. In this image you can see the Northern Lighthouse Board vessel Hesperus. The Hesperus on this card eight years earlier, in December 1900, visited the Flannan Isles to provide relief to the keepers at the station. The keepers were not found and the tragedy of the 3 missing keepers who were lost to this day still remains a mystery.
