Streetview

In the streetview, you can see a church . I believe that's where this was taken:

Most of the Brothers standing in their habits in this are just teenagers! Nicely taken group. The chaps in mufti are mirroring the uniformed brothers in hiding their hands up their sleeves. "The Devil makes work for idle hands!!!" and all that

As a tour guide on the Skelligs in the early '90s I used to love climbing over the wall into the lighthouse and exploring. It was a fabulous place to live I am sure, although remote. Whenever Richard Foran, one of the ex-keepers, would come out to do maintenance a visit to the light was a must, not only to climb up the tower but to hear Richards stories of times gone by over a mug of tea, as must have happened many a time in that house. They were the best two summers of my life working on the rock, 3 weeks on and 1 off with no electricity, no running water, a VHF for communication. It would appear, though, that the Star Wars attraction has overcome the real meaning of visiting the rock, which is to experience what it must have been like for the monks many years ago and the keepers in more modern times to live there.

I watched a fantastic documentary series called Great Lighthouses of Ireland recently. Here is a promotional video which is really worth a look. Great Lighthouses of Ireland | RTÉ One

I second the recommendation of the recent RTE series!

Fantastic stuff! This history - www.irishlights.ie/tourism/our-lighthouses/skelligs-rock.... - says "... The dwellings were semi-detached (one house for the Principal Keeper and one for the Assistant) the lower was two-storey, the upper single. Each had attic rooms. The pitched roof of the lower house was flattened circa 1910. Each house had its own cast iron porch and all four are still in situ. ..." The photo on page 38 (see sliding thingy) shows the house with a pitched roof and dated "June 1908" - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000284024#page/38/mode/1up So after June 1908 at least ?
