River Tay, Dundee

.
River Tay, Dundee.
The silvery River Tay runs close to the new housing development situated at Rawes Farm Steading, Longforgan, Dundee.

The River Tay is the longest river in Scotland and the sixth-longest in the UK. It is also the largest river in the UK with a catchment of approximately two thousand square miles.

The River Tay emerges from Loch Tay in Kenmore and flows from there to Perth. Below Perth the river becomes tidal and enters the firth of Tay. The largest city on the river, Dundee, lies on the north bank of the Firth.

In the 19th century the Tay Rail Bridge was built across the Firth at Dundee as part of the East Cost Main Line, which linked Aberdeen in the north with Edinburgh and eventually London to the south. On 28th December 1879 the bridge collapsed as a train passed over it and the entire train fell into the Firth with the loss of 75 passengers and train crew. The event was immortalised in a poem, The Tay Bridge Disaster, written by William McGonagall who lived in Dundee for much of his life. McGonagall is famous for being one of the worst poets in the Enlish language.

The rail bridge across the Firth was subsequently rebuilt, and in the 1960s a road bridge was built nearby.

Rawes Farm Steading, Longforgan, Dundee

.
Rawes Farm Steading, Longforgan, Dundee.
Rawes Farm Steading is a charming development in a beautiful rural location in the Carse of Gowrie.

Originally an orchard with apples, pears and plums growing in abundance, the farm was familiar to many as the fields to the north east, which spread all the way up to the main Perth to Dundee road were once covered in plum trees.

Most of the fruit trees were gone by the early nineteen eighties and in more recent times cereal crops were cultivated. Hadden Homes is now delighted to retain many of the traditional aspects of the farm. The farmhouse is B-listed as are the gateposts and surrounding wall and these will, of course, be retained as features of the development.
