MAJOR REPAIR work to Scotland’s lighthouses is to begin with the oldest rock-based structure in the British Isles later this year.
The Northern Lighthouse Board is seeking contractors with a head for heights to carry out work on some the country’s most remote buildings.
And the first lighthouse to be given a makeover is the 200 year-old Bell Rock, situated 12 miles off the Angus coast.
The work will pose many challenges for tradesmen because of its, remote location, dangerous tidal conditions and isolation.
