Records of a Family of Engineers by Robert Louis Stevenson is a memoir chronicling the remarkable Stevenson dynasty of Scottish lighthouse engineers. The book traces the family's history, focusing on the author's grandfather, Robert Stevenson, whose crowning achievement was the construction of the Bell Rock Lighthouse (1807–1811), one of the great engineering feats of the age. It also honors the author's father, Thomas Stevenson, and uncle Alan Stevenson, who continued the family tradition of building lighthouses along Scotland's treacherous coasts. Blending family history, technical narrative, and personal reflection, the work celebrates perseverance, ingenuity, and duty across generations.
