英语百科

Inchkeith

Inchkeith from Portobello, Edinburgh.
Inchkeith from Kinghorn, Fife
Dioptic lens designed by David A Stevenson for the Inchkeith Lighthouse. It was in use from 1889 until automation was introduced in 1985.

Inchkeith (from the Scottish Gaelic:Innis Cheith) is an island in the Firth of Forth, Scotland, administratively part of the Kinghorn parish of the county of Fife.

Inchkeith has had a colourful history as a result of its proximity to Edinburgh and strategic location for use as home for a lighthouse and for military purposes defending the Firth of Forth from attack from shipping, and more recently protecting the upstream Forth Bridge and Rosyth Dockyard. Inchkeith has, by some accounts, been inhabited (intermittently) for almost 1,800 years.
