A Thomas Telford pier built in 1823. It served as one of the main routes from NE Fife into Dundee and points north for the next 143 years until the 18 Aug 1966 when the Tay road bridge opened for traffic. Now it's used for the servicing and repair of small craft. Tay road bridge and Dundee in the distance.
