Old Photograph Bressay Scotland

Old photograph of the lighthouse on the Island of Bressay, Shetland Islands, Scotland. This was one of four lighthouses built in Shetland between 1854 and 1858 which were designed by brothers David Stevenson and Thomas Stevenson. David Stevenson initially maintained that building a lighthouse in Shetland waters was impossible, too dangerous and too expensive, and that any ship's captain who took this route was mad.
