Summer Road Trip Drive From St Andrews Over Tay Road Bridge On Visit To Dundee Scotland

Tour Scotland Summer travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish music, from St andrews through Guardbridge and Leuchars in Fife, then over the Tay Road Bridge on visit to the city centre of Dundee, Tayside. The A91 road starts outside St Andrews, the A919 road road starts off in Guardbridge and heads north towards Leuchars. The A914 road heads North to the A92 road and across the Tay Road Bridge to Dundee. The Tay Road bridge which spans the Firth of Tay from Newport on Tay in Fife to Dundee 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.
