From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Muckle Flugga lighthouse punctuates the rocky stack of Muckle Flugga that faces the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean. Robert Louis Stevenson’s father built the lighthouse here in 1854[1] and the writer visited it as a young man. The lighthouse is served by the life boat from the lifeboat station on the Unst. Supplies are generally transferred by winch, from the boat in a natural cleft of the rocks that provides a degree of harbourage.
