Old Photograph Station Road Newport On Tay Fife Scotland

Old photograph of houses on Station Road in Newport-on-Tay in Fife, across from Dundee, Scotland. The Fife Coastal Walking Path passes through Newport-on-Tay. The area itself is surrounded by views of the two bridges that cross the River Tay and distant views of the Scottish Highlands. The town was established near the endpoint of one part of a ferry route that itself was started in the 12th century. In 1715 a new pier and inn were built, the work being funded by the Guilds of Dundee which resulted in the settlement being nicknames " New Dundee ". Thomas Telford built a new harbour in the 1820s, and the town expanded and grew into a commuter suburb of Dundee as the prosperous jute manufacturers, industrialists and the middle and upper working class of Dundee established fashionable residences in Newport.

Old Photograph Pier Craighouse Isle Of Jura Scotland

This service was terminated some years ago, and access is now via an 8 miles single track road from Feolin on Jura's south west coast, where there is a small vehicle ferry to the neighbouring island of Islay. However, since 2007 a passengers only ferry service to Craighouse has operated during the summer from the village of Tayvallich on the mainland.
