Tour Scotland photograph of the Firth of Tay, near Dundee, Scotland. Firth is another word for estuary in Scotland. The Firth of Tay, Scottish Gaelic: Linne Tatha, is a firth between the council areas of Fife, Perth and Kinross, the City of Dundee and Angus, into which Scotland's largest river in terms of flow, the River Tay empties. The Firth of Tay in Antarctica was discovered in 1892-93 by Captain Thomas Robertson of the Dundee whaling expedition and named by him after the one in Scotland. He also named nearby Dundee Island in honour of the main city on the firth.
