Old Photograph Lighthouse Chanonry Point Scotland
Old photograph of the lighthouse at Chanonry Point South of Rosemarkie, Scotland. This Scottish lighthouse was designed by Alan Stevenson and was first lit on the 15th of May 1846. Alan, born in 1807 in Edinburgh, died 1865 in Portobello, Edinburgh, was a Scottish lighthouse engineer who was Engineer to the Board of Northern Lighthouses. Among his notable works is the Skerryvore Lighthouse. A member of the famous Stevenson family of engineers, eldest son of Robert Stevenson, and brother of David and Thomas Stevenson, between 1843 and 1853 he built thirteen lighthouses in and around Scotland. The writer Robert Louis Stevenson was the son of Thomas and thus the nephew of Alan Stevenson.
