Nos 2 & 3 West Shore, Tayport
West Shore is a modern residential development at the West end of the harbour. It was designed to fit in with the surrounding older architecture, and I have to admit that this building completely fooled me! Due to the presence of the bell-tower I began looking through old maps to find out more about the building, to no avail.
It is a very nice little cul-de-sac, so top marks to the developers.

The lifeboat that isn't
This is the former lifeboat 'Duke of Kent' a Rother class RNLI lifeboat built by William Osborne of Littlehampton. It saw service at Eastbourne from 1979 to 1993. After a further year at Eastbourne as a relief boat, she was sold by the RNLI and became a Survey Vessel operating out of Tayport. A lifeboat was stationed at Tayport in 1837, but after the RNLI took over in 1861 activity became centred on the other side of the Firth of Tay at Broughty Ferry, one of the busiest lifeboat stations in Scotland.
