Autumn Clouds And Shafts Of Light Behind Tay Railway Bridge On History Visit To Dundee Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K Autumn evening travel video, with Scottish music, of clouds and shafts of light behind the Tay Railway Bridge over the Firth of Tay from Riverside Drive on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Dundee, Tayside, Britain, United Kingdom. The present bridge is the second one this site. From about 1854, there had been plans for a Tay crossing, to replace an early train ferry. The first bridge, opened in 1878, was a single track lattice design, notable for lightness and low cost. Its sudden collapse in a high wind on 28 December 1879 was one of the great engineering disasters of history. Seventy five passengers and crew died. The second bridge is a double track construction of iron and steel, opened in 1887 and still in service. Weather forecast today was for increasing clouds, bringing rain or showers into southwestern England and Wales during the afternoon, locally heavy later. Rain or showers continuing across parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland, locally heavy. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
