[34], The last manned lighthouse in England, and the United Kingdom, was the North Foreland Lighthouse in Kent. [33], A couple of months later, on March 31, 1998, the keepers left the Fair Isle South Lighthouse in Shetland, and with that the final Scottish lighthouse to be staffed became automated.
