Richard Taylor was a lighthouse technician for 44 years during which he visited and worked on all 86 Irish lighthouses. He is uniquely qualified to write this personal history-cum-guide. He describes the lighthouses and their history and captures the unique way of life of the lighthouse keepers and their families, largely unknown and ignored until now and, with automation, sadly no longer extant. The result is a book embellished with anecdotes and hair-raising tales of getting on to lighthouses, time spent there, often weeks on end, and getting off lighthouses. So starting with the Baily in Howth the author takes us in a clockwise direction around the coast of the 32 counties.
