Because that's not a little island; it's the northeast chunk of Ireland. I guess it just sorts of fades away instead of showing the whole landmass because only lighthouses in Northern Ireland are within the UK.
Of the UK? Not as often as we'd like. This one particular circumstance it would have made sense to have a map of UK & Ireland though, as by removing land from a map of lighthouses... well, rocks rarely respect exclusive economic zones.

(I'm from Ireland, I was making a little joke about being erased from the map. We have lighthouses too, and they're even also managed by the RNLI)

How does one go about applying to be a lighthouse keeper?
