The Larick Scalp Lighthouse



Welcome to the Larick Scalp Lighthouse page.

It is hoped that this page will be of interest to anyone who would like to contribute photographs, documents or any relevant historical or present-day information about the Tay Pile Lighthouse.

Given the historic importance of the Pile Lighthouse, it is also hoped that this page will raise awareness and visibility of the structure and lead to its continued survival.

Ideally, the 'Pile Lighthouse' could be purchased or leased from its current owner(s) and restored to its former condition.

As one of the first 'Pile' lighthouses built in the UK it has stood for over 150 years and has been a landmark on the horizon between Tayport (Ferryport-on-Tay) and Broughty Ferry for many generations and it's historic importance cannot be underestimated.

Fully restored, the Tay Pile Lighthouse would be a valuable tourist attraction and asset to the region redeeming it from its current state of sad and desolate eyesore.

There is no doubt that many unseen photographs and cine film exists of the Tay Pile through the years that remain with local families and public bodies, it is also hoped that this page may encourage these hidden treasures to be made public for the wider community to appreciate.

It is also hoped that this page will encourage innovative ways to help safeguard the future of the Tay Pile Lighthouse through ownership, funding and renovation or other means. Any persons or groups interested in using this page to establish such opportunities should feel free to do so.

Please feel free to post any information about the Larick Pile Lighthouse you feel may be of interest whether anecdotal, historical, including photographs, film/video clips or documents, please also respect the copyright of materials owned by other parties.
