North Carr Lightship

Highlight • Historical Site

The 101-feet North Carr is one of only two lightships that ever served in Scottish Waters and the last one remaining. Equipped with a light and a foghorn, it weighs a stunning 268 tons. Since it does not have an engine, it had to be towed to the position it was needed which was the North Carr, a set of dangerous rocks located near the turning point for sailing ships that rode between the Tay and Forth estuaries. The ship is part of the Dundee Maritime Trail, a 2 kilometer walk.
