The Lighthouse Stevensons | Bella Bathurst | Paperback
Taxes incluses
The Stevenson name belongs to more than a celebrated novelist. Across generations, Robert Louis Stevenson’s family designed and built the lights that helped ships negotiate Scotland’s dangerous coasts. Bella Bathurst follows their engineering work and family lives, showing the persistence required to build permanent structures in places battered by wind, tide and breaking seas.
Lighthouse construction becomes a story of technical invention, physical risk and the difficult business of working at the edge of the land. The book gives a human history to familiar coastal landmarks, explaining why their creation mattered to mariners. It is a natural companion for readers who enjoy historic seascapes, coastal heritage and the ingenuity behind safer navigation.
