The eastern leading light seen here is one of two lights which, when aligned by line of sight, guide ships through the Aberdeen harbour channel. In front of the light is the oil support vessel, "Highland Prestige". Behind the light are houses along Sinclair Road, Abbey Road and Victoria Road in Torry.
