Thomas Smith was a Scottish businessman and early lighthouse engineer. Born in Broughty Ferry, Dundee, his father drowned in Dundee harbour when he was young. His mother encouraged him into a career away from the sea, leading him into working in ironmongery. By his 30's, he was running his own business making lamps and designing street lighting for the burgeoning New Town, Edinburgh. Wikipedia
