ok this is a restaurant but a great place to stop if you are planning a walk along the beach from Broughty Ferry. Recent views suggest there is a waiting time for food- perhaps try an icecream or drink?

The Tay Bridge Disaster
Poem
Beautiful Railway Bridge of the Silv’ry Tay!
Alas! I am very sorry to say
That ninety lives have been taken away
