INCH KEITH LIGHT HOUSE.
Drawn by W. Lorimer
PLATE I.
The Light-house of Inchkeith, delineated on Plate I. was erected while Mr Thomas Smith, the writer’s predecessor, held the situation of Engineer for the Northern Light-houses. A plan of it is given, as having been the first of these establishments erected upon the new principle; the Reflectors being illuminated with Argand-burners; the Light-room rendered completely fire-proof; and the Dwelling-house fitted for the accommodation of two keepers. But as this establishment is described in the introductory chapter, at page [24], and the names of the several apartments are marked upon the Plate, it seems unnecessary here to enter into detail.
