LOCATION
Newport-on-Tay is a beautiful town situated on the banks of The River Tay, with many interesting examples of Victorian architecture. Located just slightly west of the Tay road and rail bridges that cross the river to Dundee, the town initially grew as wealthy jute barons of 19th century Dundee sought quieter, cleaner surroundings in which to live. Newport-on-Tay was a highly desirable suburb of Dundee after the first Tay Rail Bridge was built in 1878 and the public buildings such as the old ferry terminus and the grand Victorian villas on the hillside reflect these times.
Newport-on-Tay was the 2018 winner of the Rising Star High Street Award for Scotland. Within the town there is are two newsagents, stores, chemist, Artisan bakery, butcher, coffee house, church, art gallery, barbershop, dog groomers, podiatrist, hairdresser and beautician, take-aways, the Boat Brae restaurant, once the ferry terminus and the renowned Newport restaurant with panoramic views across the river, literally across the street from this charming property. On the outskirts of the town is the Strawberry Shed offering local seasonal produce.
