The Larick Beacon at tayport or Tayport Pile as locals call it.
It was built in 1845 and is one of the last remaining wooden pile lighthouses in the country.
The keeper stayed in the octagonal wooden structure the lantern was on the top.
It was designed to guide shipping into the Tay River and Tayport Harbour,the beacon was deactivated in 1966 after the opening of the Tay Road bridge.
The beacon today is in a terrible state,yet another piece of maritime history rotting away.
