Summary

Conversation with Calum MacAulay, one of the last men who worked at the lighthouse at Cape Wrath.

Calum MacAulay describes the lighthouse at Cape Wrath, where he has worked for the past four years. From now on the lighthouse will be automatically operated. He talks about the sort of life they led when they worked there, how they spent their time when off duty, the changes that he has seen in his 33 years of work on the lighthouses, and how he feels as all this comes to a close.
