Description
The Bell Rock Lighthouse: An Industrial Wonder Completed in 1811, this iconic tower has stood as a testament to engineering ingenuity for over two centuries. Built on the Inchcape Rock, off the coast of Arbroath, it is now the oldest sea-washed tower in the world. The construction of the Bell Rock was a remarkable feat that cemented the reputation of the Stevenson family, a dynasty of lighthouse engineers who dominated Scottish lighthouse engineering for 150 years. The light-keepers who tended the rock for 177 years undertook nightly vigils, their duties punctuated by technological improvements and world events. Today, the Bell Rock continues to shine its familiar beam, a beacon of safety for mariners and a testament to the enduring legacy of those who built and maintained it.
