Judith<p>For <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/NationalLighthouseDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NationalLighthouseDay</span></a>, here is Rubha nan Gall near Tobermory, Mull. I walked out to the lighthouse before starting my 2021 <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/TGOChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TGOChallenge</span></a> from Kilchoan.</p>
ianto<p>not sure which nation <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/nationallighthouseday" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>nationallighthouseday</span></a> is about, but here&#39;s a picture i took a couple of weeks back of one of my top 5 lighthouses (and mostly, its foghorn): Souter, south tyneside.</p>
Tim Stanton<p>Happy (belated) <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/NationalLighthouseDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NationalLighthouseDay</span></a>! Here is one of several pics I took of this <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/lighthouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lighthouse</span></a> that we anchored near for three nights on our <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/sailing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sailing</span></a> trip last week.

eclectech<p>Maybe just one more. We camped near this lighthouse when I was young, impressionable, and reading too many Famous Five type books.
