    Not knocking the achievement but lighthouses had been around for decades, Robert did Not come up with the design, that was done by John Smeaton, from Leeds, who built the Eddystone, the 3rd on that rock, in 1759, a good 48 years before Stevenson built the Bell Rock. He was the one who came up with the iconic shape and the dovetailing, Stevenson simply copied it. So that woman banging on about the Scots being better than the English is talking twaddle. The Fresnel lens was designed by Frenchman Augustin- Jean Fresnel, so he Built lighthouses, he did not create them.

    Of course human interaction is way better than any type of computer.. but here's what we found out since this has been recorded we have people that are transhuman people that don't like the human race if that makes any sense to you it makes perfect sense of them because they want just the smartest people of the world to survive and the rest of us just die even though the brilliant minds of the smartest people can't do anything for themselves I'm surprised they can wipe their ass but don't get me wrong they are very book smart but book smart doesn't get anything done for you and that's why I'm thinking they already see it already built that's what's going through my mind just as I thought as a kid look at all of these cars that nobody buys acres and acres and acres and acres and acres of them I could take one no matter what and nobody would ever know turns out these technocrats used us so they can live on a perfect Earth with everything already built everything they think they need to be built that is I mean I can see this I have a very strong premonition that gut feeling that this is exactly what's going on I've been seeing this since I was a child for some weird reason ... I don't even know why I even seen that because when I was a child it made zero sense to me but nowadays it makes it perfect sense

    Fascinating history, although this doc would have benefitted (or rather WE would have) from clear maps depicting the location of each site. Not everyone knows Gaelic pronunciation - heck even in one's own mother tongue pronunciations can be tough to garner from audio/visual presentations. It took me considerable time to locate the lighthouses mentioned here.

    The Bell Rock Lighthouse, built by Robert Stevenson, clearly owes much of its design to John Smeaton's Eddystone lighthouse built in 1759 and which Stevenson had visited in 1801.

When I here a location and It's followed by the word automatic it just doesn't sound good to my ears. I'm Dutch heratige borne in California 1968.my Dad was Bourne in the Netherlands 1919 . The North Sea is in my blood. I never felt at home in Utah and never will. 1991 I went back with Dad and walked into the Sea near Amsterdam. I felt true joy.

    In reality workers built those lighthouses, principally masons. I myself together with a few others built a traditional looking brick lighthouse only 24 feet high on a point of land on a 37-mile-long lake, one of 11 lakes in New York's Finger Lakes region. It was built in 1998 and automated from the start. We did this because we discovered a 1930's map showing a navigation light at that point which it cited as yellow. No one could remember one but we built it with a yellow light with a 3 second period.

    A very good documentary. I recollect going out with Calum Macaulay to Bearnaraidh Barra Head in his boat taking engineers to the island in the late seventies.The engineers were automating the light. By 1980 that was done and the keepers had left. There is a keepers' cemetery on the island as well as a burial ground of the islanders who had all left long before the keepers finally did. I think, if my memory serves me, Calum and his sister Mor were children of a lighthouse keeper. It could have been mentioned perhaps that the variation in the frequency of light flashes makes it possible to identify the location of each light in the darkest of nights at sea.

    Automation has it's place, but it has killed many a dreams. There's a forestry tower within shouting distance from my childhood and present home that I wanted to work in, but over-population, automation, etc., has killed that dream also. I'm retired from a very different job now and those dreams have gone un-fulfilled. This was a very interesting video. Thank you very much for posting it. : )

      @@able880In the US, check with the National Park Service for employment. There’s still places that are isolated and employ people, not automation. Please don’t give up your dreams-try to think outside the box, for example State Environmental Conservation organizations. Good luck and best wishes, follow your dreams until you’re sure you’ve reached an impenetrable wall-and learn how to scale that wall! They gotta hire people; why not you?

    I need to check my ancestry as I have a Thomas Smith from generations ago in relation to myself. I am looking forward to this search. I love stories. I lived near the Napa Valley. I've been to the Robert Louis Stevenson park. It's very calming. Like a lighthouse could be with the rhythm of the waves. We get so used to the background patterns we can forget they're there.
