About Broughty Ferry

Once a fishing village and ferry port Broughty Ferry lies four miles to the east of Dundee City Centre situated on the north bank of the Firth of Tay. It became the "richest square mile in Europe" where the wealthy Dundee jute barons built their mansions. The town is centred round the 15th century Broughty Castle built to guard the entry to the Tay and now home of a whaling and military museum. It was incorporated into the city of Dundee in 1913.

Broughty Ferry harbour is a safe harbour for visiting yachts and other small craft and is located 20 minutes drive from St Andrews.
