| Samenvatting | Scotland, a land best known for its kilts, whiskies, and bagpipes, has a breathtaking coastline and awe-inspiring islands. All this beauty, however, comes at a price - waters off the Scottish coast are some of the most dangerous in the world. In a country almost totally dependent on the sea for its livelihood, lighthouses have played a significant part in its history. This lavishly illustrated book is a tour of thirty-one of the most magnificent lighthouses built in Scotland over the past 200 years. These beautiful and technically efficient lighthouses were constructed to protect ships from Scotland's rocky, windswept coastline. Most of the structures described here are in excellent condition and still lighting the coast of Scotland today. This guide contains: history and descriptions for each lighthouse; location and geography of the land where each beacon stands; details about the people who built the lights and care for them today; directions to each light; and breathtaking color photographs. Scottish Lighthouses is an excellent memento of Scotland's lighthouse legacy, for visitors and lighthouse aficionados alike. (8 1/2 X 10 3/4, 96 pages, color photos, map) |
