Tay Bridge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are historic bridges over the River Tay at Perth, Dunkeld, Aberfeldy and Kenmore. The river becomes tidal at Perth, as it enters the Firth of Tay. There are two bridges over this estuary, which link the city of Dundee with Fife:

• The Tay Road Bridge
• The Tay Rail Bridge, which replaced an earlier bridge that collapsed in 1879.
