The East Light

Margot McCuaig ascends The East Lighthouse, illuminating the voices that dwell there.

Margot McCuaig visits The East Light, a lighthouse on Rathlin which holds memories of generations of her own family, and other island families there.

As she climbs up, we hear the voices embedded in this place. It is both deeply personal, exploring family, and the love between a daughter and father, and also explores community spirit and heritage, told via one island community.

Just as the sea batters the shore, our times are taking a toll on island communities, but this is a hopeful tale of resilience, adaptability and local strength in the face of it all.
