The memorial is in Breasclete, a few hundred metres east of the pier used by the lightkeepers, and an equal distance west of their shore station. The memorial depicts a looming bronze wave sweeping towards a granite boulder topped by a sandstone lighthouse. An event in December of 1900 that killed all three lightkeepers.
I believe the Gaelic wording on the plaque reads something like:
We leave
To the protecting light
To stay the darkness of the night
Pslam 89.9: You rule over the surging sea
When its waves rise you still them
