Straw Island Lighthouse

County Galway, IE

Straw Island Lighthouse is an active aid to navigation on an islet of the same name (Irish: Oileán an Tuí) in Killeany Bay, northeast of Inishmore in County Galway, Ireland. Completed in 1878, it was the last of four lighthouses built in the 19th century on the Aran Islands. The commissioning of Str

aw Island marked the culmination of a lengthy 24-year campaign by the local islanders to have a lighthouse for safe passage into Killeany Bay and the harbour at Kilronan.
