Scotland's Northern Lights Lighthouses of the Orkney and Shetland Islands
Year: 2003 Language: english Author: Paul Kemp Genre: Guide Publisher: The Shetland Times ISBN: 9781898852926 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 71 Description: Orkney and Shetland Islands are two large archipelagos known as Northern Isles of Scotland, between the North Atlantic and the North Sea, in the land of the midnight sun and northern lights. They are quite different from the other islands of Scotland and the mainland. Both islands are essentially treeless, with awe-inspiring seascapes and genuinely warm and friendly people. Having been under the Norse influences since the first millennium their language and social structure resembles the Norse more than the Celts or Scots. This book discusses all 21 major lighthouses in the area most of which were built by the famous Stevenson family of lighthouse engineers, including the first and last Stevenson engineered lighthouses. It gives many information about the lighthouse stations, and also includes history, descriptions, and significant points of interest around the lighthouses, illustrating each lighthouse with photos of Charles Tait, a well-known Orkney photographer.
