The author sets the scene for the proceedings as follows - About a mile to the eastward of the ancient town of Arbroath the shore abruptly changes its character, from a flat beach to a range of, perhaps, the wildest and most picturesque cliffs on the east coast of Scotland. Inland the country is rather flat, but elevated several hundred feet above the level of the sea, towards which it slopes gently until it reaches the shore, where it terminates in abrupt, perpendicular precipices, varying from a hundred to two hundred feet in height. In many places the cliffs overhang the water, and all along the coast they have been perforated and torn up by the waves, so as to present singularly bold and picturesque outlines, with caverns, inlets, and sequestered “coves” of every form and size. - it's like the whole area is waiting to be explored! This lovely old book is the perfect literary adventure for your friends and loved ones.","brand":"Country House Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56180749500795,"sku":"10794999","price":29.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2458\/8207\/files\/orig_506175_jpg.jpg?v=1774879309","url":"https:\/\/countryhouselibrary.co.uk\/products\/the-lighthouse-by-r-m-ballantyne-ward-lock-c1916","provider":"Country House Library ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
