Welcome to the Cooknbull Web Site.  We hope that you will enjoy it.

"Taighsolais" is the Scottish Gaelic for "Lighthouse".  My grandfather and other members of his family were lightkeepers in the service of the Northern Lighthouse Board and served in, or were connected with many lighthouses, ships or stations around the Scottish coast, at around the turn of the last century. 

This site is still in its infancy. At the moment, we are concentrating, from a family point of view, on these Scottish Lighthouses; the other pages have only minimal content, but eventually we intend to cover other interests and activities more fully, as shown below.   More buttons will appear as the site develops!!

Is there any specific person, place, or perhaps lighthouse which you are searching for?  If so, you may like to use this search facility to help you.

Welcome! You are the to this site
