Lightkeepers Cottage (pip)

Lightkeepers Cottage (pip)
Light keeper's Cottage and Lighthouse in pip at Portpatrick, Dumfries and Galloway,
The lighthouse was built in 1774 at the end of a pier which was built on the southern side of the harbour. This served boats crossing to Ireland,

Being the closest harbour to Ireland, the village of Portpatrick developed into a vital mail boat route. For a time, Portpatrick filled a similar role to Gretna Green. Irish couples would escape from Donaghadee to get married in the village. Couples were said to have their ceremony and be back on the boat within an hour! (https://lighthouseaccommodation.co.uk)
