Love the photos, please give us some more.  I am a Broughty girl, wee Grove and then big Grove, a very long time ago, I lived in Barnhill in Invermark Terrace, have been a long time away but the  photos gave me a big lump in my throat. There is nowhere in the whole world like the Ferry.

I sent your great web name out to my mate in Brisbane Aussy Land &he says that it made the whole Miller family homesick, but to keep sending everything I could to them. Maybe tell his very old mate Douggie DAB that he might remember the 4 Musketers.

 Broughty Ferry is a lovely place and I enjoy my visits to the Ferry. Best village around about here. Keep up the good work. The images are wonderful.

Thank you for a great site and lovely pictures.  I had the good fortune to visit you last year and fell in love with the place, unfortunately living in Lancashire it's hard to get up there regularly.  I adored the Fishermans pub and would love to see a picture of it on here if at all possible?
Thanks again

Will try to add more pictures over the next month - WebMaster

Wow! What an amazing website. I had a chance to visit Broughty Ferry in May 2001. My dad's from Dundee and my Uncle Bert took me there to see the old stompin' grounds. I didn't have a chance to take too many pictures my camera ran outta film and Broughty Ferry is kinda hard to explain so I'm definitely gonna tell everyone to check out this website. Thanks a lot everyone and God bless!!!

Came across this site while trying to search for relatives. Found an old letter from addressed to my mother from Annie.  I believe it may be Scofield of 14 Monifieth Road, Broughty Ferry. Would love to know if anyone knew this family. Hope to visit this Fall and will be returning often to this site.

Thank you,

My father (Archibald Young) was born in Broughty Ferry in May 1907.  I have never been to Scotland but just found your website.  I am working on genealogy and enjoyed looking at your site.  Keep up the good work.

Connor family 09/02/01

We are doing our family genealogy and know that we have relatives in Broughty Ferry.  Is there a local historian that we could contact ?  We are looking for relatives of the late Ephraim Connor of Spean Bridge.

Great site! My family left the Ferry in 1982 to move to Florida, I went to Eastern Primary and Grove Academy. We lived at Monifieth Rd.
Ida Giles, 05/01/01
I have two dear cousins who just moved to your area.  I had never heard of it and was very curious as to just where and what it was like.  I was so pleased to see this beautiful spot.  I know that they will be very happy to "bide" here.  Some day soon, perhaps I will see it for real.  It is a great home page.

As a one-time student at Dundee, may I say what a pleasure and a privilege it is to be able to applaud yer efforts on Broughty Ferry Google. "Lang may yer leg reek", as they say in Scotland, "an' dinna tak noo fer an anser!"

Monifieth Holidays -  Alistair Durham,  Birmingham, 25/06/00

My mother hailed from Dundee and my father from Coventry (its a long story), and my Auntie and Uncle (Joe & Muriel Wood) lived at Ferry Road Monifieth. Every school summer holiday and some Easter's were spent staying at their house or my grans in Catherine St Dundee.

 All have pssed away now but still I bring my wife back to Broughty Ferry, and she like me will probably never fail to love the area and the people. Childhood memories of "mealie puds & rubbarb tarts" can thankfully still be re-lived but now as well we can enter some of the good local pubs.

I remember being a bit of a train anorak at the time standing next to the old swing style level crossing gates in the sixties and watching and hearing them clatter shut, as the evening fish train from Arbroath steamed past, the smell of fish lingered on for some time afterwards! Then we walk back to Ferry road via The Esplanade and in Summer more than likely there was a fair a ride on the dodgems (which is a kin to driving in Birmingham !) and back to the house feeding the swans off the bridge close to Balmossie Halt.

 Daytimes would be spent on the beach making sand towns and castles or once I was accepted adventures out with the local lads (there was no silly Scottish?English rivalry there) just kids having fun without adults filling their heads. We would walk the old railway between Broughty Ferry and Forfar or go upto Buddon or play putting. No video games!

 Ah well, better go before this gets all to sentimental !!! I have many more memories and will perhaps, send you some more, of course there was no "E mail" in those days, so I suppose somethings have improved for the better, but hopefully Broughty Ferry will stay as it is unspoilt and its inhabitants warm and friendly always with a hello or a smile.

 Perhaps it would be possible to use your site to locate anyone whom knew Joe and Muriel ?

 Best Wishes for now, we may be back this year........so get the rubbarb tarts and mealie puds in!
