Robert Stevenson, FRSE, FGS, FRAS, FSA Scot, MWS (8 June 1772 – 12 July 1850) was a Scottish civil engineer and famed designer and builder of lighthouses. One of his finest achievements was the construction of the Bell Rock Lighthouse. Quoted from Wikipedia
New Calton Burial Ground was built as an overspill and functional replacement to Old Calton Burial Ground and lies half a mile to its east on Regent Road in Edinburgh, Scotland, on the south-east slopes of Calton Hill. On its southern edge it attaches to the north-east edge of the Canongate in the Old Town. It lies on a fairly steep south-facing slope with views to Holyrood Palace, the Scottish Parliament Building and Arthur’s Seat. Of particular note is the Stevenson family plot, the resting place of several notable members of the family of Robert Louis Stevenson. Quoted from Wikipedia
Robert Louis Stevenson, author of Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde , Treasure Island and Kidnapped is buried on Mount Vaea in Samoa.
In 1799, Robert Stevenson (grandfather of the author Robert Louis Stevenson) married Jean Smith, his step-sister. Therefore, Robert Louis Stevenson's grandmother was also his step-great-aunt.
