Tour Scotland Travel Video Spring Drive Over Tay Road Bridge To Discovery Point Dundee

Tour Scotland Spring travel video of a road trip drive over the Tay Road Bridge which spans the River Tay to the Discovery Point on ancestry visit to Dundee, Scotland. The bridge was designed by William Fairhurst and construction began in March 1963 with the infilling of West Graving Dock, King William Dock and Earl Grey docks in Dundee. The construction was undertaken by Duncan Logan Construction Ltd. Controversially, construction required the demolition of Dundee's Royal Arch where Queen Victoria had entered the city on a royal visit. Rubble from the Victoria arch was used as foundations for the on ramp. The completed bridge was officially opened by the Queen Mother on 18 August 1966. Discovery Point is a world class visitor attraction which centres round Captain Scott of the Antarctic's Dundee built ship RRS Discovery.
