Round Island Lighthouse, located on Round Island, was built in 1887 by William Tregarthen Douglass and automated in 1987. Round Island, the most northerly outpost of the Scillies, is a 40m mass of granite, the top forming a platform on which Trinity House built a lighthouse and dwellings in 1887 under conditions of extreme difficulty. The sheer rock face made the unloading of building materials almost impossible.
