Old photograph of buildings and people on Oakley Place in Broughty Ferry by Dundee, Scotland. 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 ”. The area was a separate burgh from 1864 until 1913, when it was incorporated into Dundee.
