Swemmit Lighthouse

 One of the most unusual landmarks of Swemmit is the Swemmit Lighthouse. Built in the early 1800s by the Medwain family, it has relocated many times around the coast of the island usually settling for a couple of decades before mysteriously - and always overnight - establishing itself at a new location. Some have said the lighthouse is in some way sentient, and makes its own way to find a new home after getting bored of one view of another.

For the last thirty years, the lighthouse has most been located around the large lake at the centre of the island, Kilvert Water. It’s currently located at the edge of the woods around Temso Hall, and has settled there for the last seven years. Current Lighthouse keeper, Stinky Robards, claims that the lighthouse is in the retirement phase of its life and enjoys the less dramatic waters and more pleasing vistas of that giant lake than the constant worries about where the island will relocate to next. He is of no opinion about whether the lighthouse is sentient or not, just saying “a perambulatory building on a perambulatory island only seems right to me”
