R. M. Ballantyne 
Lighthouse 

‘The Lighthouse’ is a gripping tale of the relationship between man and sea. Ballantyne spent three weeks holed up on Bell Rock researching and experiencing the life of a lighthouse, and its relationship to the ocean. This novel follows the process of building and manning a lighthouse on the perilous Firth of Forth. Ballantyne’s lively prose and his dedication to storytelling make this perfect for fans of Rudyard Kipling.-
