Cape Wrath lighthouse

Cape Wrath lighthouse
Another built by Robert Stevenson in 1828 and was manned until 1998. This spot is famous for its fog and high winds as located at the most North-Westerly point of the British mainland. One of the buildings below it, is a little cafe, most welcome by its few visitors after making the trek or ride here on some of our most far-flung paths and lanes. Notice the red giant fog-horn here to the left.

See adjacent photo for the view below.

Beautiful, Herb.. I did not know that Stevenson did that work, together with all what he wrote and that he died so young.

Haha, Danny, the writer 'Robert Louise Stevenson' was Robert Stevenson's (the engineer) son! Also, Robert Stevenson's father was also a great lighthouse engineer (RLS was therefore his grandson). To be confused even more, there is yet another great Stevenson family: George and Robert who were railway engineers famous for our first steam locomotives. Around the same time as the lighthouse men in the early 19th century.
Hope this helps. Herb

Thank you, Herb. I read that he worked a time with his father, that's why.
