Bell Rock Lighthouse - in Culture

In Culture

Scottish musician Alastair McDonald re-worded a traditional song called The Mermaid's Tale, and set the scene on Bell Rock instead of the Eddystone light. The first verse runs:

My father was the keeper of the Bell Rock Light
And he married a mermaid one dark night
And from this union there came three
A codling and a kipper and the other was me

On David Arkenstone's album Myths and Legends, one of the tracks is titled "The Legend of Bell Rock".

R.M. Ballantyne's novel "The Lighthouse" (1865) is centered around the construction of the Bell Rock (or Inch Cape) Lighthouse.
