Auskerry
Auskerry (, east skerry) is a small island in eastern Orkney, Scotland. It lies in the North Sea south of Stronsay and has a lighthouse, completed in 1866. ==Description== Auskerry is a small, flat, red sandstone islet, south of Stronsay.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Auskerry )〕〔http://www.britainexpress.com/scotland/Orkney/Orkney-Geography.htm〕 A standing stone and mediaeval chapel are signs of early settlement.〔 The island was uninhabited for a time after the automation of the lighthouse in the 1960s. It was previously a popular location for hunting seals.〔 Auskerry has been inhabited for 30 years by a family who keep a flock of rare North Ronaldsay sheep.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Isle of Auskerry )〕 There are three small wind turbines and four solar panels on the island, which provide most of the power. After a series of expansions and renovations, the single roomed stone bothy is now a modern house with four bedrooms, kitchen, shower room and living room. The chemical toilet is outdoors due to the complication of installing septic tanks. Mail is delivered from Stronsay, once a month, by a fishing boat.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bbc.com/news/business-26925926 )〕
