Tour Scotland Winter 4K travel video, with Scottish accordion music, of a road trip drive over the Tay Road Bridge which spans the Firth of Tay on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to the city centre of Dundee in Tayside. Dundee, Scottish Gaelic: Dùn Dè or Dùn Dèagh, is the fourth largest of the eight cities of Scotland. the city developed into a burgh in the late 12th century and established itself as an important east coast trading port. Rapid expansion was brought on by the Industrial Revolution, particularly in the 19th century when Dundee was the centre of the global jute industry. This, along with its other major industries, gave Dundee its epithet as the city of jute, jam and journalism. The Tay Road Bridge carries the A92 road across the Firth of Tay from Dundee to North Fife in Scotland, just downstream of the Tay Rail Bridge. At around 1.4 miles long it is one of the longest road bridges in Europe, and was opened in 1966, replacing the old Tay ferry. The bridge was designed by consulting engineers WA Fairhurst & Partners of Glasgow and Dundee, under the direct supervision of the firm's founding partner, civil engineer William Fairhurst. By the meteorological calendar, the first day of Winter is always 1st December in Scotland; ending on 28th of February. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome. When driving on Scottish roads in Scotland slow down and enjoy the trip
