Description

Dating from around 1820, Old Buddon Ness lighthouse is a circular lighthouse that is rendered and painted. It is attached to the northeast gable of a two-storey, four-bay lighthouse keeper's house. Originally 85 feet high, it is now truncated and is topped with a conical, tiled roof at roughly the same height as the adjoining keeper's accomodation. The lighthouse has three small window openings around the base. The lighthouse keeper's house has a gabled porch attached to the front elevation and an extension at the rear. Buddon Ness is at the southern tip of Barry Links at the northern entrance to the Firth of Tay, south of Carnoustie.

Statement of Interest

In 1865-66, two new lighthouses (high light and low light) were built at Buddon Ness by David and Thomas Stevenson for Trinity House of Dundee. These lights replaced the earlier lighthouse. The high light was constructed close by, to the northwest of the former lighthouse and keeper's cottage. The two lights are listed separately (LB4634 and LB4635).

Statutory address revised and listed building record updated in 2020. Previously listed as 'Old Lighthouse, Budden Ness'.
