Broughty Castle
Broughty Castle Review
Originally built to guard the Tay Estuary, Broughty Castle is now a museum focusing on fishing, ferries, and the history of Broughty Ferry's whaling industry. The canons and ramparts make for fine photo opportunities, and inside (up a very narrow stairway) are four floors of displays, including the lovely art collection of the Victorian inventor and engineer Sir James Orchar. To the north of the castle lies beautiful Broughty Ferry Beach which, even in mid-winter, is enjoyed by the locals; there is regular bus service here from Dundee's city center.
