The Telford Beacon

The Telford Beacon
Despite its name, the Telford Beacon was designed by James Leslie, a consultant to the famous engineer Thomas Telford. It once sat on the wharf between the tidal harbour and King William IV dock to help guide ships into the dock.

When the docks were filled in to make way for the Tay Road Bridge,opened in 1966, the beacon was left standing 135metres from the new shoreline.

In 2011 the beacon was in danger of being lost when the bridge ramps were rebuilt to make way for the redevelopment of the area. Dundee City Council took the decision to relocate the beacon to this new location on Black Watch Parade.
