This light is recorded (GIS ep. 2) as standing on the quay between King William IV Dock (NO43SW 1002.00) and the Tidal Harbour (NO43SW 1001.00). Both these docks have been infilled as part of the extensive redevelopment works at the N approach to the Tay Road Bridge (NO42NW 75). The available (GIS) map evidence indicates that this beacon has been retained in its original location.
