The naval base control tower occupies a site on the southern end of the East Pier. Its date of construction is not known but is thought to 1951 or later. On a plan of the building held in a private collection the building is named as a Signal Station.
It may be that the building controlled movements of all shipping and seaplanes in the Cromarty Firth.
