Tarbat Ness, Easter Ross, Scotland.
The Tarbat Ness Lighthouse is located at the North West tip of the Tarbat Ness peninsula near the fishing village of Portmahomack on the east coast of Scotland. It was built in 1830 by Robert Stevenson and has an elevation of 53 metres (174 ft) and 203 steps to the top of the tower.
Tarbat Ness Lighthouse was engineered by Robert Stevenson for the Northern Lighthouse Board and the light was first exhibited on 26 January 1830. James Smith of Inverness was the contractor responsible for the building of the lighthouse which cost £9,361. The lighthouse tower is the third tallest in Scotland behind North Ronaldsay and Skerryvore and is notable for having two distinguishing broad red bands.

The seventh-century monasteries of Wearmouth-Jarrow and the bones of the Northumbrian landscape
Sam Turner
(University of Newcastle)
Most historical accounts of Anglo-Saxon Northumbria focus on religious conversion as a key driving force in 7th-century social change. As a counterpoint to this approach, I suggest that the examination of certain 'technologies' can help explain more specifically what changed, why it changed and how change was effected. I will examine these themes with reference to the famous monasteries of Wearmouth and Jarrow, where I have undertaken new research in collaboration with a team of colleagues.
In this talk I will focus specifically on technologies witnessed at Wearmouth and Jarrow and through other Northumbrian sources, such as the parcelling of land and the use of writing, building in stone, the use of relics and sainthood, and changing locations and forms of burial. I will suggest that the coalescence of these technologies enabled the emergence of key concepts for later periods, such as possession, kingship, saintliness, and the enduring community of the dead. Such transformations were supported by changed perceptions of the material properties of objects, substance, places and persons.
