Flying the Flag

This is a copy of the flag of the Northern Lighthouse Board, who originally built this house as a shore station for the light at Skervuile. We have the original flag, but it is rather tattered - as anything would be strung up a pole in all weathers! Peter and I made a new flagpole for the old site, using the mast from Lily. As I write this , I realise that there is a lot of history to fill in. Who is Peter? Who was Lily, and why can we scavenge her mast? What was the Beathach Dhiura? Why did I think my husband was trying to kill me? Who are the Crones of Jura? Maybe, dear reader, I will tell you one day...
