# Three Lighthouse Keepers Vanished From Scotland’s Eilean Mor in 1900 2026-08-07T08:41:38+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Three experienced lighthouse keepers disappeared from Scotland’s remote Eilean Mor island shortly after Christmas in 1900. A relief vessel found no reply, no one at the landing area and the lighthouse abandoned. Inside, an unfinished meal, a displaced chair, a stopped clock and missing outdoor clothing suggested a hurried departure. There were no bodies, signs of violence or evidence that outsiders had reached the island. The Northern Lighthouse Board investigated the station and focused on the sea. Later accounts described severe weather and unusual final log entries, though details have become mixed with folklore. The leading explanation is that a powerful wave swept the men away while they inspected damage near the cliffs. No theory has secured universal acceptance more than a century later. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: Eilean Mor, lighthouse mystery, maritime history, Scotland Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/three-lighthouse-keepers-vanished-from-scotlands-eilean-mor-in-1900/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
