The Island of Pladda

Pladda is a small island off the coast of Arran. It’s about a kilometre long and houses Pladda Lighthouse. The first lighthouse was put on this island around 1790 but the lighthouse is automated now so no keeper lives on the island. The island is now privately owned. You can take a boat trip around the island and see the tern and other nesting seabirds that live there.
