Text description beneath the picture (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used) BROUGHTY FERRY THIS spot, with West Ferry adjoining, is greatly favoured by Dundee merchants, who have selected it to form quite a colony of villas. It lies to the eastward of Dundee at a distance of four miles, and-faces Tayport, to which there is a ferry service several times daily., On the right of the railway going towards Monifieth are the unprepossessing and substantial ruins of Broughty Castle, occupied by the English in 1547, after they had, under the Protector Somerset, almost exterminated the Scottish army at the battle of Pinkie. In the year 1550 it was stormed by the French auxiliaries in the Scottish service, and dismantled. In more recent years, however, the fortress, has been put in order, and fortified to guard the entrance to the Tay, which it commands, and has been recently used as a submarine station by the Admiralty. The Tay Bridge crosses the Forth at Dundee, and is principally remarkable for its great length—two miles. The old bridge, with a train and its occupants, was blown down and destroyed on the 28th December, 1879, and in the new bridge this wind pressure was the chief danger to be guarded against. In this case it was possible to build piers in the bed of the river, it has seventy-three piers built of brick and faced with granite and iron, carries a double line of rails and has a headway of 77 feet. It was begun in 1883, and took five years to build, while the total cost was £650,000.
