LAMP -------------------- `...a fascinating book...' Undiscovered Scotland -------------------- `There's lots of fascinating insight for both established fans of lighthouses and also those whose interest has just been taken by the subject matter. For those who long to look beyond the Shipping Forecast at the places behind some of the names, this book might just help cure our insomnia and curiosity'. Best of British -------------------- `...a personal story of that dynasty of engineers ... Most ably the book places lives and work of Stevenson lighthouse engineers in their social and historical context and author Lynn writes of the Stevensons as a family of engineers'. Flash -------------------- `...For the interested visitor and the casual pharologist alike, this small and well-illustrated paperback will satisfy their curiosity and provide an attractive souvenir'. The Shetland Times -------------------- `...Anyone with even a passing interest will be enthralled by Scottish Lighthouse Pioneers ... As well as telling a fascinating and at times, gripping, story the tale is well illustrated with contemporary drawings and pictures, maps and more modern photographs'. Dunoon Oberver -------------------- `...It's a great little book about a family who achieved something amazing'. Desperate Reader
