Copeland Island Visited (Part 2)

There are 3 Copeland Island and I was one called Lighthouse Island although nowadays the lighthouse is on Mew Island, the small of the three and that leaves Big Copeland.  Today I am showing you what inside the house is like.



Looking at Mew Island and Scotland in the distance.


This is the first view we get of the house as we walk up the steep slope from the boat.  On the way I saw Wren, Pheasant and lots of Rabbits that keep the grass down.



This is the lounge where we always put a fire on in the evening.


Well stocked kitchen


View from one of the kitchen windows.


My bedroom this weekend.


View from one my bedroom window.


View from the room at the front of the house.


One of the two large dormitories and there is also another room that sleeps 4 more people.


View from one of the dormitory rooms over the Heligoland trap.



A few of the Narcissi and Bluebells are in bloom.




Inside the Laboratory although this weekend no ringing took place due to the bad weather conditions.


There are 2 flush tiliets on the island, one is just outside the back of the house however this is the other one down a cliff but when sitting on the loo it is certainly a ‘loo with a view’! (below)


Tomorrow I will be continuing with this series from Copeland Island and I hope you will join me again.


Many thanks for your visit today and also for all the comments.

  10. Beautiful sky and sea pictures! I love that kitchen! And also the stone table you can see through the window. Is it a sundial? I wish I had a room like the front room, it is really a lovely sun room!
