This tower lighthouse is the earliest of the great lighthouse built by the Stevenson family. It both guards the approaches to Montrose and Arbroath, and also serves as the landfall light for mariners approaching the Tay estuary mouth from the E and NE.

This lighthouse is one of the four in Scottish waters over 10 miles from land, the others being Sule Skerry (HX62SW 1), Flannan (NA74NW 8.00) and Dubh Artach (NM10SW 1).
