[edit] Bell Rock Lighthouse

I have seen neither the book nor the TV programme, but the claim here that this was the world's first offshore lighthouse is wrong. Stevenson based the design on Smeaton's Eddystone Lighthouse in south west England, the third at that location. Bell Rock was Scotland's first offshore stone lighthouse. According to the BBC website and [1], it is the oldest offshore (or more precisely seawashed) lighthouse still in use. The point being not that it was the first but that the original building is still standing nearly 200 years later despite the location and its base being underwater except at low tide. -- JBellis 10:04, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
