		Alan died in 1865 and is buried with his wife in the family vault in the New Calton Cemetery.

		It is another cause of the comparative obscurity of the name: for a patent not only brings in money, it infallibly spreads reputation; and my father's instruments enter anonymously into a hundred light-rooms, and are passed anonymously over in a hundred reports, where the least considerable patent would stand out and tell its author's story.

	Fictionwise eBooks: Records of a Family of Engineers by Robert Louis Stevenson
		It is believed that in 1665, James Stevenson in Nether Carsewell, parish of Neilston, county of Renfrew, and presumably a tenant farmer, married one Jean Keir; and in 1675, without doubt, there was born to these two a son Robert, possibly a maltster in Glasgow.
		The death of Hugh was probably announced by Alan in a letter, to which we may refer the details of the open boat and the dew.
		Thus, at least, in something like the course of post, both were called away, the one twenty-five, the other twenty-two; their brief generation became extinct, their short-lived house fell with them; and 'in these lawless parts and lawless times'--the words are my grandfather's--their property was stolen or became involved.

	Alan Stevenson (1807--1865)
		The eldest son of Robert Stevenson, Alan embarked on a career in lighthouse engineering despite his own preference for classical and literary studies (later in life he was to become the friend of both Wordsworth and Coleridge) and reservations about his suitability for this profession.
		His exquisitely-designed light at Skerryvore, considered by many to be the world’s most beautiful lighthouse, relied entirely on the weight of its stone component parts to keep it in place.
		Alan’s work with the Fresnel brothers had convinced him of the benefits of dioptric lenses and he set about installing them in the Scottish lights; this was a huge advance, the lenses increasing threefold the power of the lights.
