Tay Street is a major thoroughfare in the Scottish city of Perth, Perth and Kinross. It is part of the A989. Constructed in the second half of the 19th century, it is named for the River Tay, Scotland's longest river, on the western banks of which it sits. The street runs from the confluence of West Bridge Street and Charlotte Street in the North to a roundabout at Marshall Place and Shore Road in the South. Thomas Hay Marshall and his father in law, Thomas Anderson, owner of the former Blackfriars lands, who were responsible for the construction of much of Georgian Perth, made the first steps in the creation of Tay Street in the late 18th century when they constructed Atholl Crescent and Atholl Street in the North and Marshall Place in the South. The sections in between were gradually filled in over the course of the next century. Robert Smirke designed the Sheriff Court and County Buildings, which were built in 1819. Glasgow's John Honeyman designed St Matthew's Church, by far the most prominent structure on the street, erected in 1871.
