From Eshaness Lighthouse by Sharma Krauskopf


Interior of Eshaness Lighthouse Keepers Accommodations

Eshaness Lighthouse is first and foremost my home. We have had a lot of pictures on this website of the exterior of the lighthouse. Many of you have asked for some pictures of the interior of the keeper's accommodations so this month I am going to share a few.

You can find more articles in the archive under Island Miniatures/Lighthouse Letters.

I have two books which are directly related to this column. The Last Lighthouse tells how we bought our lighthouse and in Scottish Lighthouses our lighthouse is featured in the 31 lighthouses presented. You can order autographed copies by clicking on the name of the book.

Other books you might be interested in ordering and having me sign are my book for children, Moonbeam Cow, and "Scotland - The Complete Guide and Road Atlas", a beautiful book for which I did the text.
