There are 72 manned lighthouses around the Scottish coast and it takes a vast and complex organisation to administer them. The isolated rock stations are serviced by four ships. These ships are crewed by seamen who know every rock in the gullies which are the hazardous landing places.

This documentary is a story of storm and danger, of bravery and determination - and a story of lonely living.
