A remote Scottish island shows up on our Geo Quiz radar today. There’s an 18th century lighthouse at one end of the island.

It was built by a group that called itself the Commissioners of the Northern Lights. This lonely beacon of light sweeps across the Firth of Clyde. That’s a body of water along the west coast of Scotland. A millionaire couple owns this mostly uninhabited island.

So can you find this island of serenity on the map?

Relax … deep breath…
