Caladh (Kyles of Bute)

1888. Obviously inactive as a lighthouse for many years but charted as a daybeacon. Approx. 8 m (26 ft) round masonry tower with a window at thes top through which the light could be displayed. Lightphotos.net has a closeup photo, Wikimedia has a photo, and Google has a satellite view. Newman rediscovered this largely forgotten lighthouse in April 2002 but we need information on its history. Located on the west side of the entrance to Loch Riddon about 4 km (2.5 mi) northeast of Tighnabruaich, not far off the A8003 highway. Site open, tower closed. Owner/site manager: unknown. ARLHS SCO-304.

"Both guilt and regret can last you a thousand lifetimes."

Remember the story about the someone stupid enough to piss of a god of plagues? Yeah, that was Cal. (First name Caladh, surname pending.) In his defense he was one of the original witches created for the purpose of bringing down Apollo's literal father. Regardless of whether there's any love lost between Apollo and Zeus, the fact in Cal's case is that he pissed off a god of plagues. Of course he definitely feels like he got the last laugh in that fight, ultimately. Over the centuries he's been through the ringer. For a long time he has dealt with addiction and the repercussions that it has had on his immortal life. Over the last century he has maintained a predominantly sober life, no longer feeding on addicts to get a high. He has been the head of the local vampire nest in Anguish for the last 60 years. He's thrilled to see the return of his sister's children. (The Hawthornes.)
