Travel by Rail

The desirable location of Dundee and Angus provides visitors with a unique journey to their destination. To the south, the Tay Road Bridge and it's near neighbour, the Rail Bridge, (the longest rail bridge in Europe), cross the River Tay giving travellers a stunning panoramic view of Dundee and the surrounding countryside.

From the north of Scotland, visitors travel through the wooded countryside of Royal Deeside to the fertile farmlands of Angus.

To the west lies Perthshire and the Carse of Gowrie, famous for the exceptional soft fruits that are provided in abundance each year.

Eastward lies the moody waters of the North Sea, base to many of the country's oil vessels.

The Traveline Scotland, initiative has been launched by the Scottish Executive which aims to help people travel around Scotland more easily.
