There is a good documentary on the BBC Iplayer on the Alba channel.
Dates from 1969 and covers her sister POLE STAR and three of the lighthouses operated by the Commissioner for Northern Light

And the finished product, now open for customers - cabins from £260 per night. Unfortunately, from a photographic aspect, she is moored in a former dry-dock so views are rather tight to get.
