holds that the name derives from the Lowland Scots ''broch'', meaning some form of fortification, with the 'ty' being a shortening of the name of the River Tay, and Ferry being added later in recognition of the town's role as a ferry port. However, this is unlikely, as the word order would probably be "Tay Broch", rather than "Broch Tay". The suffix "Ferry" was applied at the introduction of a regular ferry crossing in the 19th century, crossing to

History

Evidence exists of a human settlement in pre-historic times, later developing into a prosperous fishing and whaling village, before becoming home to 19th-century

barons who had their factories in Dundee. At this time it was known as the 'richest square mile in Europe'. In 1495 Broughty Castle was built and remained in use as a major defensive structure until 1932, playing a role in the

" - a phrase synonymous with all those who love Dundee. The economic drive from these industries - particularly the jute - was led by the jute barons. These captains of industry built their mansions and superior villas on the slopes at the 'West End' - above the city of Dundee - and on the raised slopes of Broughty Ferry: the suburb which found itself transformed from fishing village to fashionable "Brighton of the North". In particular streets such as Camphill Road which held huge mansions such as Carbet Castle. In their book "Dundee: an illustrated architectural guide", McKean & Walker describe Broughty Ferry as "once one of the richest suburbs in Europe". "This mid to late-Victorian suburb remains private on its plateau high above the shore: few main roads, minor ones framed by stone walls and mature trees". Dundee architect, Charles Soutar, is reported to have lived at Harecraig House (built 1835) between 1928 and 1947, having designed it as a “ dowar house” (residence of a widow).

Culture

New Year's Day Dook

The "dook" is an annual event where residents enter the waters of the harbour in fancy dress costumes. A longstanding tradition, it is now organized Ye Amphibious Ancients Bathing Association (YAABA). The Dook has never been cancelled, no matter the weather; the harbour waters needed to be broken with pick axes in 1989. The Dook is the first annual event in Broughty Ferry and Dundee and can boast being the largest in Scotland of the New Year Dooks that take place across eastern Scotland, such as Queensferry's

To celebrate the Millennium a relay team of club members swam from Tayport to Broughty Ferry on 1 January when the temperature that day was 2 °C but has been recorded lower at minus -3 °C in previous years. The relay was the first ever crossing attempted on a New Year's Day and most of the team could only tolerate the cold water for three minutes at a time. The recorded time for the crossing was 45 minutes.
