Broughty Ferry Heritage Walks Running Again Summer 2013

How much do you actually know about the history of Broughty Ferry?

The Beachie Heritage walks were first run last year and have returned due to popular demand. The walks will be scheduled throughout the summer and pre-booking is advised. Last year's extremely popular 'Graveyard Walk' is also being run on particular dates.

Here is your chance to learn many surprising facts about the Ferry whilst strolling around various locations which are connected to history. For instance did you know that Broughty Castle has a connection to Henry VIII and the 'Rough Wooing War'? Or that the Railway roll-on roll-off ferry was one of the earliest in the world?

There is no set charge for taking part in a heritage walk, but donations are invited in aid of Broughty Ferry Lifeboat.

Next Graveyard Walk - Tuesday June 11 2013 2-3pm
Start at St James Church, then all around Broughty Ferry
