Robert Burnett - Lighthouse Keeper - Muckle Flugga Lighthouse, Shetland Isles, Scotland

The Muckle Flugga Lighthouse, Unst, Shetland Isles - was built by the novelist Robert Louis Stevenson's father Thomas and Uncle David in 1854-1858. It is believed that Robert was inspired to write his adventure novel "Treasure Island" (published in 1883) - after a trip to Muckle Flugga and Unst. In addition, the "Treasure Island" map resembles the map of Unst.
