Search is on for new lighthouse keeper for stunning area in Scotland - and you'll only work 184 hours a year

It's one of the most beautiful and dramatic locations in Scotland, and there's a unique job available there that could be perfect for someone who loves the thought of enjoying the isolation and beauty of Cape Wrath – the most north-westerly corner of mainland UK.

The search is on to find a new lighthouse keeper to work there - and the successful candidate will only have to work 184 hours a year. The Northern Lighthouse Board has posted the job which would see the new person performing roughly monthly checks on automated lighthouses at Cape Wrath and Stoer Head in Sutherland.

The exciting role will see the candidate take over from lighthouse keeper Barry Miller, 74, who retired recently after covering seven lighthouses across western Scotland.
