The Twelve Apostles, a row of fishermen's cottages, in Catacol, Isle of Arran, North Ayrshire, Scotland, UK


Just a few yards from the beach in the tiny village of Catacol. Each of these fishermen's cottages has a different upper window so that when the men were at sea, their wives would light a candle in the window and each man would know which house was signalling.
