Tay Bridge

Tay Bridge

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.

In Music

In the 2006 film "The Queen", "Tay Bridge" was used by the Royal Household as a code word for the eventual funeral of Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother. It was suggested that Princess Diana's funeral be based on Tay Bridge.
