Ever heard of the Bell Rock Lighthouse? It's an incredible story of Scottish maritime engineering! This lighthouse stands on a dangerous reef about eleven miles from the shore on Scotland's eastern coast.

But here's a fun fact: The tradition says that an Abbot of Aberbrothock installed a bell on the rock, connected to a floating device that warned sailors; talk about an early alarm system! What innovative methods would engineers devise today to tackle such maritime challenges?
