Guided Tour of Historic Broughty Ferry and the ancient Fisher Graveyard.

We will take you from as far back as the arrival of the first known people in this area, then lead you safely through some of the disasters, battles and happier events which have affected Broughty Ferry. You will hear engrossing tales of everyday fisherfolk, as well as some unforgotten heroes .

The tour is around a mile (1609 metres) in distance. Though we would wish to welcome everyone, we regret that all tours are over uneven pavements, cobble stones and often per narrow alleyways and lanes . Accordingly, this should be considered by everyone before booking a tour, please .We wish to avoid any disappointment. Well- behaved dogs are welcome. There is no such thing as a well-behaved cat.

Walks will go ahead irrespective of the weather. Please do take care to dress accordingly - we are situated at the Tay estuary ,leading to the North Sea. Dundee is, however, the SUNNIEST city in Scotland .Yes really. It will be fun!

Please note that your tour ticket price does not entitle you to entry to any of the attractions which we will view or discuss. We would however be glad to recommend that you do try to visit or investigate them for yourselves. Tour tickets are for sale online only. No refunds will be made after tickets have been purchased under any circumstances.

*Our meeting point is on the quayside at the foot of the Broughty Ferry Castle drawbridge and ramp. We finish outside the Lifeboat Station on Fisher Street.

The foreshore at Fisher Street (otherwise Fish Street or even Beach Street) was the place where the families of fishermen would join together to clean the landed catch and prepare it for market here , or as far away as Russia.

The ruined Broughty Castle , from an old windmill, which is long gone. The castle was rebuilt throughout the 1800`s- and we meet in front of it.

As a feature of the tour, we will make a brief visit into Broughty Ferry Old Graveyard . It lies hidden away off Chapel Lane and remains unknown to many locals !Though the burial ground is far older, the earliest tombstone is dated 1689. There are some fascinating and thought -provoking stories to hear at this point, and the ancient stones also tell the story of those who are buried or commemorated there.
