Rotten Island

Rotten Island lighthouse, a harbour light established in 1821, sits at the entrance to Killybegs Harbour, one of Ireland’s most important fishing ports. The lighthouse’s role in guiding vessels into the harbour is crucial, given the hazardous rocks surrounding the area. It’s said the name derives from 'Naomh Rotain' (Saint Rotain), a monk reputed to have lived as a hermit on the small island.

Rotten Island’s main claim to fame is that it was the last lighthouse in the country to have a female assistant lighthouse keeper.
