Wormit is a village on the south shore of the Firth of Tay, Its location at the southern end of the Tay Rail Bridge has led to it becoming a commuter suburb of Dundee. Wormit claims to be the first Scottish village to have installed electricity. A windmill located on Wormit Hill generated the power, with a steam engine supplementing this when the wind was low. This was later replaced by a coal-gas engine until the 1930s, when Wormit was connected to the national grid. Alexander Stewart, who built many of Wormit's early houses, owned the windmill and steam engine and offered electrical lighting to homeowners as well as basic street lighting. Consumers paid 10 shillings a quarter and could use as much electricity as they liked. The first houses to have electricity had sun rays painted on the front, and these can still be seen along the highest row of terraced housing in the village. During the Second World War, King Haakon VII of Norway visited a house in Wormit used as a base by officers of the Norwegian Army.
