It is in the westernmost part of the Isles of scilly, an archipelago 45 km off the southwestern tip of the Cornish peninsula of Records lists it as the world's smallest island with a building on it. The rock rises from a depth of 45 meter to expose a tip 46 meters long by 16 meters wide .

The present building   was completed in 1858 and was first lit on 1 September that year. Before the installation of the helipad , visitors to the lighthouse would rappel from the top ( with winches installed at the lamp level and at the base below) to boat waiting away from the lighthouse .

                                My Favorite Book                                        Reading story  books is one of my best loved activities.
