Exploring Broughty Ferry, Scotland, A Drive Through.

Broughty Ferry, Angus, Scotland, is a suburb of the City of Dundee. Broughty Ferry is a community of some 10,000 households with a current population of over 19,000 an is located within the City of Dundee, in the County of Angus on the North bank of the River Tay. It was recognised as a separate burgh from 1864 until 1913, before it was incorporated into the city of Dundee. The suffix "Ferry" was applied at the introduction of a regular ferry crossing to Fife in the 19th century, but the name endured beyond the closure of the ferry and did not revert to its previous form of simply "Broughty". Its most prominent building, guarding the mouth of the river Tay, the 15th century Broughty Castle overlooks the harbour. Built in 1498, the castle was restored during the 19th century and now houses a museum featuring displays on Dundee's maritime history. At the beginning of the 19th Century, Charles Hunter had plans drawn up in a gridiron pattern to develop Broughty Ferry north and east of the small area around Gray Street populated by fisher folk. Fort Aboukir Street and St. Vincent Street were named after sea battles won during the Napoleonic Wars. In 1838 the Dundee and Arbroath Railway opened and encouraged those who could afford it, to leave the grime and dirt of Dundee, for the clean healthy air of 'the Ferry'. commuting to Dundee was also maintained by a coach service which ran three times a day. There was also a regular steamboat service, with special trips on a Sunday for bathers and day trippers. Many fine villas were erected in the area by jute industrialists from Dundee that led to Broughty Ferry having more millionaires per square mile than any town of comparable size in Britain. As a result, Broughty Ferry was referred to at the time as the "richest square mile in Europe". Originally Broughty Ferry was a small fishing village with just small cottages near the harbour. However, at its peak in the 1880s there were 180 boats based in Broughty Ferry. Broughty Ferry's fame as a holiday resort spread and by the end of the Victorian period, visitors flocked to the town for their annual holiday not only from Dundee but also from the Edinburgh and Glasgow areas. In "The Brighton of the North" visitors could enjoy pleasure boats, bathing machines, brass bands played and Minstrel and clown shows. In the 1880s commuter trains to Dundee ran every hour. The Dundee, Broughty Ferry and District Tramways Company opened in the area from 1905 thus increasing cheap travel opportunities for the people in Dundee. On one day, 14th June 1912, some 2,200 people out of 2,674 voters travelled to work in Dundee on the train service. In the past hundred years, Broughty Ferry has shared in the political, administrative, social and economic changes which have transformed the City of Dundee which has moved from an industrial past creating the foundations of a post-industrial future. However, by the mid-twentieth century Broughty Ferry would still have been readily recognisable to a person who had last visited some 50 years before. Broughty Ferry has evolved rapidly to keep up with the times while retaining its own distinctive character. The centre of Broughty Ferry remains an area of mixed use and accommodates the thriving retail, commercial and service core as well as relatively high density housing of various tenures. To the north is the large area of private housing which was developed in the late 20th century and which, because of its popularity, has been recently considerably extended into predominantly rural surroundings. Last, but not least, there is the strip of land which stretches from the Stannergate along to the Dighty Burn with the Castle and Castle Green at its heart. This accommodates such attractions such as the award winning Broughty Ferry beach and the Barnhill Rock Garden all of which maintain Broughty Ferry’s reputation as a destination for tourists and day visitors. @explorescotland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brought... https://broughtyferry.co.uk/visitors/...
