Working in Northern Lighthouse Board Oban for a few days. The weather is cold but beautiful. What a view from the office window!😊

Just visited Northern Lighthouse Board vessel PHAROS alongside in Leith ahead of RoyalYacht Britannia to meet and brief new crew members. Looking great for Christmas.

And Northern Lighthouse Board vessel PHAROS looks ready for Christmas between decks too! Great to catch up with some of the crew - it’s been a busy year so hopefully a peaceful period for all.
