LONELIEST SPOT IN BRITAIN.
How Time it Spent in the Skeeryvore Lighthouse. The Skerryvore Lighthouse is one of the loneliest places in the Britisu Islands. It is the chief rock of a reo' ■which lies ten miles southwest o! Tiree and twenty-four miles west of lona. Previous to 1844 a ship wus I'-st there annually for forty yeirs. Ti e lighthouse was begun in 1S3S and tix>k six years to complete, tlie cost being £86.977. It will always be Interesting, says the London Sphere. If only for the fact taat It was erected by Robert Louis Stevenson's uncie, Alan, who followed the method adopt- ed by his father. Robert, in the Bell Ughthouce. The Skerryvore Light- house is 13S 1-2 feet high; it is 42 feet in diameter at the base and 1C feet at the top. The light, watch is a revolving one, can be seen at a H's- tance of 18 1-2 nautical miles. The tower is built cn a rock which is about 15 feet above high-water mark. This is the largest rock above water of the whole chain and Is about b'J yards long by 40 yards broad, but is so intersected by channels cut through it by the action of the sea and Is so uneven that walking Is difficult.
