Tay River Trips News
Tour of the Estuary – A lovely trip from Woodhaven Harbour or Broughty Ferry Harbour passing Newport Shore, the Road Bridge, the Old Lighthouses, Tayport, Larrick Scalp, Horseshoe Buoy (to see if the Dolphins are about) Broughty Ferry Castle, Dundee Docks – about 90 mins.

Dolphin Watch – From Broughty Ferry Harbour out to the Horseshoe Buoy area to see the Dolphins if they are about. If not, a short tour of the Estuary by Tayport and the Old Lighthouses, over to Dundee side and back to Broughty Ferry Castle a trip lasting 60 minutes.  This service will cease at the end of September when the Dolphins usually return to the Moray Firth.

Perth – Setting off from Woodhaven Harbour at Wormit, Marigot passes the famous Rail Bridge, Balmerino Abbey, Ballincrieff Castle, Black Earnside (a William Wallace Battle Site),   Newburgh, Mugdrum Island, Carpow Roman Fortress, Mouth of the River Earn, Inchyra, Elcho Castle, Friarton Bridge, Sleepless Inch and Perth Harbour.  4 ½ hours

One of the most enjoyable excursions that can be made during the summer season is by the river to Newburgh and Perth. The scenery, after passing Newburgh, is not surpassed, if it is equalled, on any Scottish river, and it has been affirmed by those who have made the Rhine tour, that even that famous river can show nothing more calculated to evoke feelings of admiration than this portion of the Tay.
