Tay Rail Bridge

Highlight • Structure

The multiuser path along the Firth of Tay passing the Tay Rail Bridge is a nice ride. The bridge is spectacular and it's nice to have a traffic free trail along the water’s edge.
This is part of the NCN77 route that runs from Dundee to Pitlochry via Perth.

Here you will find both the V&A museum and the RRS Discovery.

The V&A is a magnificent building that showcases the best of Scottish design, and the RRS Discovery is a ship that was built in 1901 for scientific purposes in the Polar regions. It went on its first expedition between 1901 and 1904 to Antarctica, and now stands in the Firth of Ray for visitors to enjoy its grandeur.
