Please can people stop using the words 'reach out', 'reaching out' unless you're one of the Four Tops. You can just say 'I'm getting in touch'. Thank you #FourTops #ReachOut

Please note, the lighthouse isn’t part of the sale. It’s still very much a working lighthouse and a vital aid to navigation managed and maintained by NLB.

The tiny island of Pladda - with its five-bedroom house, a helipad and a lighthouse dating back to the 1790s - has gone on sale for £350,000 bbc.in/3oUWV6f
