About Bell Rock Lighthouse
Bell Rock Lighthouse is a landmark. Location: Angus, Scotland.
The Bell Rock Lighthouse, off the coast of Angus, Scotland, is the world's oldest working sea-washed lighthouse. It was built between 1807 and 1810 by Robert Stevenson on the Bell Rock (also known as Inchcape) in the North Sea, 11 miles (18 km) east of the Firth of Tay. Standing 35 metres (115 ft) tall, its light is visible from 35 statute miles (56 km) inland. The masonry work on which the lighthouse rests was constructed to such a high standard that it has not been replaced or adapted in 200 years.
