Where to stay in Broughty Ferry
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Broughty Castle and the water make the case for the shore end of Broughty Ferry, where Fisher Street and Fort Street hold the oldest listed frontages and Camperdown Street runs back from them. Gray Street carries the shops. Inland, Barnhill and Panmure Terrace hold the listed houses, Longcroft, Ferncroft and The Gorse among them, and Forthill sits between there and the rest of Dundee.
If you want the Firth of Tay outside the window rather than a city-centre address, book out here and take the four miles in.
About Broughty Ferry
What are the main landmarks in Broughty Ferry?
Broughty Castle heads the list. The churches follow: St Luke's Church, St Mary's Episcopal Church and the East United Free Church on Queen Street, St Aidan's Church on Brook Street, and St Stephen's Church on Dundee Road. Braehead House stands on Dundas Street and Links House on King Street.
Roycroft on Yewbank Avenue and Kazarami on Monifieth Road are two more of the named houses, and Longcroft and Ferncroft sit together on Panmure Terrace in Barnhill. Fisher Street keeps its own listing.
What is the history of Broughty Ferry?
Broughty Ferry stood as a separate burgh from 1864 until 1913, when it was incorporated into Dundee and the place on the north bank of the Firth of Tay stopped being a town of its own. Its older county was Angus. Historically the area lies within the County of Angus, a county allegiance that the 1913 incorporation into Dundee did not erase from the record.
The listed addresses gather on Fort Street, Camperdown Street, Fisher Street and Gray Street, the streets the record names most often inside the old burgh.
Where is Broughty Ferry?
The Firth of Tay runs along the front of Broughty Ferry, and Barnhill, Forthill and Panmure Terrace hold the ground behind it.
