I seem to remember this was tried back in the late 60's/early 70's. I clearly recollect trudging along Mathieson Road in the pitch darkness ! I don't think the idea worked then or would now.

they did try it in the late 60 or early 70's and the reason given for dicontinuing it was (so I remember being told at the time) that it was dangerous for children in Scotland going to school in the morning, btw you do not get extra daylight, if people can't get up in the morning that's their tough luck,

I have been in Lewis since late 2004 and am observing life on this fascinating island from an outsider's perspective. I look out at the lighthouse every day - as it looks out over the island and the sea.
