Tay Bridge Disaster, McGonagall, Captain Scott and Other Tales Image
View the Tay Bridges and learn of the tragic Tay Bridge Disaster of 1879. This may be your first encounter with the worst published poet in the world - William Topaz McGonagall. We all love him. Sorry, but there WILL be some poetry on the riverbank! Featuring the Tay Bridge Disaster, we will spend a good portion of the walk and talk dealing with the events of that fateful day. You will encounter dreadful rogues, awful (but much loved) poets and some true heroes.

Meeting point: Discovery Point Dundee - in front of RRS Discovery.
