MenuNewport-on-Tay, Fife
Newport-on-Tay is a small town in Fife. The town was established near the endpoint of one part of a ferry route that itself was started in the 12th century. In 1715 a new pier and inn were built. Thomas Telford built a new harbour in the 1820s, and the town expanded and grew into a commuter suburb of Dundee as the prosperous jute manufacturers, industrialists and the middle and upper working class of Dundee established fashionable residences in Newport. The town is within the council area of Fife.
