Alan Stevenson, Organiser of Cars for Kidz
Alan R. Stevenson is a former twenty five year chef, Best Selling published author who has helped hundreds of people the world over due to his NDE. February 26th 2010 was a day plagued by a severe snow storm near Niagara Falls Canada. Alan had managed to walk six city blocks that morning to catch a bus to work in knee deep snow that was piling up by the minute only to die a minute after getting on the bus. Doctors gave him two years at best to live, that was eleven years ago. Alan recently remarried in the Islands of the South Pacific and has two daughters he refers to as the gems of his life. He now quietly lives in Guelph Ontario Canada while working on republishing his first book and writing three others in a series "Life Lessons of an NDE".

With its long coastline and about 790 islands, Scotland has been home to a large number of lighthouses. The Northern Lighthouse Board, founded in 1786, currently operates and maintains 206 lighthouses across Scotland and the Isle of Man. Automation of lighthouses began in Scotland as early as 1894, when the Oxcars Light in the River Forth had its two lightkeepers withdrawn. Fair Isle South was the last of Scotland’s manned lighthouses to be automated, on March 31 1998. Ian Duff at St. Abb's Head Lighthouse in Scotland in July 2017. Photo by Jeremy D'Entremont. Ian Duff and Bill Bremner (also a lighthouse keeper) during Ian's active career (ALK) Ian Duff worked as a keeper at 13 Scottish lighthouses between 1976 and 1992. He spent about five years at Skerryvore, a remote station off the west coast of Scotland. Skerryvore is the tallest lighthouse in Scotland at about 156 feet. It was designed by Alan Stevenson and was completed in 1844. Ian also spent about five years at Duncansby Head Light Station at the most northeasterly point of the British mainland. Ian has remained involved with lighthouses since his retirement as a keeper. Today he is the president of the Association of Light Keepers, or the ALK, an organization that provides a forum for everyone interested in lighthouses, lightships, and maritime aids to navigation.

Kinnaird Head Lighthouse is in Fraserburgh, a town in Aberdeenshire in northeastern Scotland. The original navigational light at Kinnaird Head was a simple lantern placed in a tower of a sixteenth century castle in 1787, installed by Thomas Smith of Edinburgh. The engineer Robert Stevenson—Thomas Smith’s son-in-law and the grandfather of the famous writer Robert Louis Stevenson—improved the lighthouse in 1822 and 1823, and there were further improvements in the early 1850s by Robert’s son, Alan Stevenson. Kinnaird Head Lighthouse (U.S. Lighthouse Society archives) The old lighthouse keeper’s house and other buildings are now home to the Museum of Scottish Lighthouses. The museum tells the story of the Northern Lighthouse Board, the engineers who built the lights and the keepers who tended them. Lynda McGuigan Lynda McGuigan is the museum manager with overall responsibility for the whole site including the staff, the lighthouse, the castle, and of course the museum itself. Michael Strachan Michael Strachan is the collections manager and also a published historian. He is responsible for displaying and taking care of the museum’s nationally recognized lighthouse collection, and he is the author of three books including Scottish Lighthouses: An Illustrated History and Kinnaird Head Lighthouse: An Illustrated History.

They went back to 1823 and found a cousin of the distillery's founders to explain life as Oban was being settled. "Alan Stevenson" explains some of the history, along with Joanne McCutcher of the Diageo Archives and Oban visitors center manager Carol Bennett. We'll also hear from Glenmorangie/Ardbeg's David Blackmore and Knob Creek Whisky Professor Bernie Lubbers, and there's breaking news on plans to export Nikka whiskies to the U.S.!
