Chapter I begins with a vivid depiction of the Stevensons’ early engineering endeavors, when Scotland’s coasts were known for their treacherous waters and sparsely marked shorelines. The story opens in a time before lighthouses were common, when the northern seaboard was left largely to the mercy of the sea.
