One of them was the Skelligs Lighthouse. The lighthouse can be found on the southern-most peninsula and is one of two lighthouses on the island. The other one is further north. Both of them were built in the 1820&#8217;s but the northern-most lighthouse was discontinued around 1870. This one continues to work but became one of the automatic lighthouses in 1987 and is now unmanned.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12608\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12608\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/20170706-skellig-michael-280-edit.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"12608\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/2017\/07\/skelligs-lighthouse\/skelligs-lighthouse\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/20170706-skellig-michael-280-edit.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1000,1500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Terry B.
