Old Photograph Scotscraig And Abertay Ferries Newport On Tay Fife Scotland

Old photograph of the Scotscraig and Abertay Ferries at the pier in Newport-on-Tay in Fife, across from Dundee, Scotland. The Dundee to Newport ferry on the River Tay closed in 1966 on the opening of the Tay Road Bridge. Four vessels formerly operated the service, namely the B. L. Nairn and Sir William High, both Paddle Steamers built in 1929; the Abercraig and the Scotscraig, diesel powered, fitted with Voith Schneider propellers and built in the Caledon Shipyard in Dundee. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
