A moderate puzzle this week, methinks, with our author back in one of his favourite haunts, uncovering further contributions by the Stevenson Family to the NLB among piratical and nordic violent historical episodes?

Yes, quite enjoyed this one. He sure loves his lighthouses; but not quite as much as canals or Roman settlements - don't think there's any of those where he was this week!

. . . not to mention his penchant for including skirmishes and encounters of the English Civil War.

I don't think the Roman Empire extended that far and if it did it would have been only in small numbers. The odd fragments of pottery and artefacts found in the area might well have come from the locals sailing South (ish) to their nearest Trading Post rather than as a consequence of invasion. Perhaps it was a boat ride too far?
I think the lighthouse is on St Mary's Island,

For Moira Buxley . . .

(a) which lighthouse are you referring to?

(b) which St Mary's Island?
If you're referring to the WWI? puzzle in the Sunday Times of 14th May, you're way off, Moira

Well . . . if it's the one @ Whitley Bay, the heading appears to be o.k. from the point of departure @ LCY airport . . .
Flonska, the 'London Airport' in the puzzle isn't in London - it's about as far away from London as it's possible to get in the UK - Eday!

Sigh! Having read (but not processed the thought properly),as to Moira's suggestion of the island location, I initially connected St Mary's Island Chatham to London LCY - (not London Bay) - then looked at the map and route directions to the Orkneys (via St Mary's Whitley Bay) which was, more or less the right heading . Unfortunately, the result was a written response which was simply urble, burble, blurble, blurp! A C.R.A.F.T. (Can't Remember A Flipping Thing) moment. Sincere apologies to all . . .

Senior Moment or C.R.A.F.T. (Can't Recall A Flipping Thing) - sorry! Will endeavour not to let it happen again
