Until recently the business here has barely provided a living. I have greatly improved the garden - planted new bushes and trees. I have also laid ...
Fallen girders in the water after the Tay Bridge disaster. Interesting to note how little building there was in the Wormit area even after the first bridge had been in operation.
Lovely clear view of the completed bridge from the south, ready for opening in May 1878. However, it's interesting to note there is no branch line of the Newport Railway in this view. This was added later in 1878 and the Newport Railway eventually opened in May 1879. In the foreground is the Wormit foundry. ...

View from south of first Tay Rail Bridge. Fourteen columns out from this side the column design changes from brick to lattice ironwork. Also note how the Newport line branches off out over the river.
Lovely view of Tay Rail Bridge under construction. In the foreground is the Wormit Foundry, where defective ironwork was produced. There's no sign at the time this photograph was taken of the branch line that would come off the bridge and carry the Newport Railway.

Kinbrae House main entrance gate.
A slightly less imposing view of Kinbrae House than some others. Although the main driveway to the house came up from West Road, this main door was to the rear, looking towards what is now Kinbrae park. This entrance takes visitors straight in to the main floor of the house which is actually the middle ...
