Old travel Blog Photograph of the Jubilee Arch near Broughty Castle, on the Firth of Tay by Dundee, Scotland. In 1887 to mark the golden jubilee of Queen Victoria's accession to the throne, James Guthrie Orchar put up funds for an arch to stand at the southern entrance of the park on Monifieth Road. The arch was designed by T S Robertson and was unveiled on September 19th 1887. The arch is designed in a baronial style of ashlar sandstone. Two turrets flank a centrally located bas-relief sculpture of the head of Queen Victoria. To the left and right are the carved Scottish and Imperial coat of arms. There are also carvings of a thistle, rose and shamrock. To the rear northern side is a relief of Broughty Castle on the raised central panel.
