the rocky shore at Kildonan on the southern shore of the Isle of Arran in Scotland with the small island of Pladda and its lighthouse in the background at sunset. Pladda lies off the south coast of Arran in the Firth of Clyde. The island is small, flat, teardrop-shaped island, less than a kilometre along its length and rising to just 27 metres above sea level. Unusually for such a small island it has its own source of fresh water. Pladda Lighthouse dates from 1790 and was designed by Thomas Smith. It was the first light on the Clyde to be commissioned by the Commissioners of the Northern Lights. The lighthouse was automated in 1990. Pladda and its lighthouse feature extensively in Peter Hill's autobiographical novel Stargazing.
