newport-on-tay

Newport-on-Tay is a town in the north east of Fife in Scotland, located between the Tay Rail Bridge and the Tay Road Bridge. The town was established near the endpoint of one part of a ferry route that itself was started in the 12th century. In the 19th century the town expanded quickly. Thomas Telford built a new harbour in the 1820s, and the prosperous Dundee jute manufacturers established their fashionable residences there; they called Newport "New Dundee". The Burgh of Newport-On-Tay also includes the Village of Wormit The Fife Coastal Path passes through Newport.
