Old Maidens Lighthouse
The Maidens (Irish: Na Maighdeanacha[1]) or Hulin Rocks (Irish: Na Faoilinn, meaning 'the seagulls[2]') are two islets and several skerries in the North Channel off County Antrim in Northern Ireland. The Eastern Maiden or Southern Rock lies about 9 km from the coast at Ballygalley,[3] or 13 miles from Larne.[4] The West Maiden or Northern Rock is about half a mile further out.[4][5] Lighthouses were built on both rocks; the West Maiden was abandoned in 1903 and the East Maiden was automated in 1977.[5]
