The Bell Rock Lighthouse, the world's oldest rock lighthouse
situated off the coast of the county of Angus, was built by the
famous Stevenson engineers, and has its 200th anniversary on 11
February 2011. Northern Lights celebrates that occasion. This fully
illustrated book tells the story of Scotland's lighthouses through
objects, charts and photographs, using National Museums Scotland's
pre-eminent collection of sea-marking amterial from the Northern
Lighthouse Board, and also items from the Stevenson family. For
reasons explained in the book, historic items relating to the
building of the earlier Eddystone Lighthouse, located in the
English Channel, are also held by the museum, and John Smeaton's
stone-built construction there must be seen as the inspiration for
Robert Stevenson's structure.
