Shining a light on Scotland’s lighthouses

Scotland has an especially rich lighthouse tradition, mainly due to a dynasty of Stevenson engineers covering over a century.

All of them had a profound understanding of weather and geology.

This fine illustrated book highlights the contribution made by lighthouse keepers to the study of natural history.

A Natural History of Lighthouse, by John A Love, published by Whittles Publishing, £30.
