The North Carr is believed to be the last remaining Scottish lightship. In 1975 the lightvessel was replaced by an east cardinal buoy and decommissioned. After decommissioning, the vessel served as a floating museum in Anstruther then relocated to Victoria Dock under the ownership of the Taymara (Tay Maritime Action) charity. . It looked rather fine in Anstruther, but unfortunately Taymara were unable to raise sufficient funds for its restoration and the vessel is now destined to be dismantled and scrapped. Such a pity.

Dundee has spent a lot of money on the riverside improvements, and I do feel that some of the money spent should have been used to preserve this lightship.
