Unfortunate typo edit

Coordinate correction? edit

Uhh, according to Google Earth version 4.2, Inchcape Rock is at 56° 33' 3.7" N 2° 34' 27.8" W , which is a fair few km off the specified coordinates. 121.216.154.45 (talk) 09:51, 9 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Google Earth 4.2 would seem to be wrong. The coords are confirmed by Nicholson (1995) Rock Lighthouses of Britain as 56° 26' N 2° 23' W. Most of the maps Geohack links too don't seem to show the rock but Bing aerial maps does. The coords you provide are just off Arbroath. Ben MacDui 10:31, 9 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Umm... the engineer? edit

How can there be an article about the Bell Rock without mentioning the man behind it?! Robert Stevenson was chiefly responsible for the project's completion. I hope others can agree on this notion. Let's at least add his name to the article for crying out loud! lol — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.7.181.22 (talk) 07:23, 20 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Lighthouse enthusiasts have tended to create articles about the lighthouse as distinct from the island/rock. See Bell Rock Lighthouse. Ben MacDui 12:50, 20 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
