At the end of the harbour wall in Anstruther is a white lighthouse, that was built in 1880. The height is 9 metres (29.53 feet). It's main color is white, but the service room below the lantern is painted black.

"The lighthouse was gifted by Miss Hannah Harvie of Cheltenham in 1880 in memory of Thomas Chalmers of whom she was a devout follower. This was to mark the centenary of the great man’s birth. Hannah Harvie also donated Anstruther’s first lifeboat the Admiral Fitzroy which served Anstruther from 1865 to 1888."
