The Ferry sits on the eastern edge of Dundee along the northern shore of the Firth of Tay, centred on the suburb of Broughty Ferry. It’s a distinctly coastal part of the city with a harbour, sandy promontories and views across the River Tay, and landmarks such as Broughty Castle give a tangible historic feel to the waterfront.
Historically a fishing and ferrying community that grew into a Victorian and Edwardian suburb, the area is now known for its independent shops, cafés and a largely residential, relatively prosperous population; sailing, beaches and local festivals remain important to community life. Good transport links to the city centre and the nearby Tay Road Bridge make it a popular spot for commuters while retaining a strong local identity.
