Old Photograph Beach Crescent Broughty Ferry Scotland

Old photograph of people walking on Beach Crescent in Broughty Ferry by Dundee, Scotland. Broughty Ferry is situated four miles east of the city centre on the north bank of the Firth of Tay. The area was a separate burgh from 1864 until 1913, when it was incorporated into Dundee. Formerly a prosperous fishing and whaling village, in the 19th century Broughty Ferry became a haven for wealthy jute barons, who built their luxury villas in the suburb. As a result, Broughty Ferry was referred to at the time as the " richest square mile in Europe. "
