Admiralty and NGA references for disused lights are no longer to be found in the official lists
Column 2: Name of light; Details (character, height above high water, nominal range in nautical miles)
Column 3: Description of structure; Notes; Link to image (for towers this link is in the form of a thumbnail image);
Grid Reference; Maps (LR, EX: Ordnance Survey; CH: Admiralty Chart at various scales) (see Notes in the Introduction)


   Within this Section, Publ. 114 recognises only M026, M026A-02, M028 and M029-07

Sectors shore (023°) W 217° R 197° W 143°
FifeEstablished 1975 (PH Hyslop) on discontinuation of North Carr Lightship
White building 5m
   Extraordinary building for a lighthouse: rectangular lantern room about 10 by 15 feet and maybe 9 or 10 feet high, squared-off roof overhanging the curved-on-plan full-height windows, standing directly at ground level at top of a low cliff. No doubt because of the resulting vulnerability of the glass windows to passers-by, and possibly because standing close to the windows you’d be exposed to the full power of the focused beam, this is the only lighthouse Michael has seen entirely enclosed in a chain-link fence with a strong padlock on the gate. The fence is so located on the surrounding steep ground that it is always well below the beam. At the rear of the building is a garage-like extension about ten feet square. Light source is a 100V 35A double-filament lamp. The dark phase of the Iso 10 sec period is achieved by switching a bank of resistors in parallel with the lamp to reduce the current through the filament. There is no rotating optic. During nominal off period, light maintains a very low light level, but clearly not dark—see alternative photos. This is not seen at any great distance, certainly not from S shore of Firth at distance of 12 miles, which is where you have to go if you want to see it dry-shod (except of course on the rocky foreshore a few yards to seaward). Visible only from seaward, within arc 143 to 023 True. Shows a red sector 197 to 217 True over North Carr Rocks, achieved by the insertion of a transparent strip of red plastic standing against the inside of the outer window. A subsidiary bank of prisms above the main optic ensures that the top of this strip is evenly illuminated. The Rocks are about a mile off-shore, and are also marked by an E Cardinal buoy and an unlit beacon. The beacon, and another one near Barns Ness called South Carr, mark the seaward limit of the Forth Ports Authority.

The use of three tube-lights to form a WRG directional light is apparently now the standard method: cf Nos M014-01 in Section A and M096-06 in Section H

  Strongly directional light produced by "tube-light" (see bottom of lantern on the close-up image)
Tower and buildings now privately owned. Shows WRG sector light, the whole in a cone of only 4°, visible from only one point on dry land, so that even the locals think the light is out of use. Five faces of the octagonal lantern are blanked off. Originally showed FW as rear leading light over the Low Light (later the Pile Light) as front light; tube-light installed on discontinuation of Pile Light. Line marked brings vessels into Firth of Tay.

Newport
   Newport Jetty comprises two parallel slipways each about 30 feet wide, separated by a single-leaf, 7-foot masonry wall. The jetty is now used as a builder's yard, and access should be considered to be impossible
   The lights take unusual M-references, to avoid renumbering the next thirty structures. They are all uncharted

Friarton bridge:
The Friarton Bridge carries the M90 motorway across the river. Each vertical pair of fixed reds and greens on the piers nearest the river, showing upstream and down, are about 20m apart, too far to be fully shown in a single image. They are therefore given individual M-numbers. The arrangement of the long bolts supporting lamps hanging from the underside of the deck is best seen at M028-43

Monifieth and Barry Range
  The Barry Range is a designated military training ground, and firing with live ammunition takes place regularly. At such times red flags are flown at points where access may be obtained, and the red light M029-06 is shown. The structures M029-06, M029-07, M030 and M031 are all within the boundaries of the range, and access to them is often dangerous

Buddon Ness:
  Disused towers:

The sandbanks in the mouth of the Tay are notorious for their variability of position. The two Buddon Ness lights were designed to give a leading light through the banks both inward and outward, and the front tower was the first to be designed to be easily movable, to follow the movements of the channel. D. Alan Stevenson, in The World's Lighthouses to 1820, suggests they may have been first erected in 1600, but this would make them antecedent to the coal light on the Isle of May. Other sources suggest dates between 1660 and 1687, making them the second lighthouses in Scotland. It was seventy years before another Scottish light was established.
   The towers were originally built of wood, and probably lit by candles mounted inside a lanternhouse. The rear tower was rebuilt in stone in 1753, perhaps retaining the candle lantern, to a height of 17m. In 1789 both towers were converted to oil lamps with reflectors by Thomas Smith, working on behalf of the Dundee Trinity House, not the Northern Commissioners. Thomas Stevenson rebuilt both towers in stone, into the design seen today, in about 1880. They were discontinued in 1943 because the alterations of the channels could no longer be marked by moving the towers.
