Provenance
From the collection of the Stevenson family, Edinburgh.
The Stevenson family’s involvement in lighthouse engineering began with the famous writer Robert Louis Stevenson’s (1850-1894) grandfather, Robert Stevenson (1772-1850). Between roughly 1790 and 1940, six members of the Stevenson family planned, designed, and built over 150 lighthouses that can still be found along the Scottish coast today.
