Tour Scotland Video Old Photographs Newport On Tay Fife

Tour Scotland video of old photographs of Newport-on-Tay in Fife, across from Dundee, Scotland. The town was established near the endpoint of one part of a ferry route on the Firth of Tay that itself was started in the 12th century. In 1715 a new pier and inn were built, the work being funded by the Guilds of Dundee which resulted in the settlement being called originally being called New Dundee. Thomas Telford built a new harbour in the 1820s, and the town expanded and grew into a commuter suburb of Dundee as the prosperous jute manufacturers, industrialists and the middle and upper working class of Dundee established fashionable residences in Newport.
