Wormit
Situated along the southern banks of the River Tay, the coastal village of Wormit enjoys a peaceful setting flanked by open countryside and the calming waterfront. Offering a semi-rural, small village lifestyle, the area is ideally positioned for commuting to Dundee thanks to the opening of the Tay Road Bridge in 1966. It takes just 15 minutes by car to get to the major city, providing a wealth of shopping, leisure, and cultural facilities within easy reach. Furthermore, the historic town of St Andrews is only a twenty minutes’ drive away, placing the town’s world-renowned golf courses and world-class amenities at your disposal. Closer to home, Wormit is served by a local convenience store for all of your daily needs, along with a choice of restaurants and takeaways in the surrounding area and in neighbouring Newport-on-Tay. Large supermarkets and more extensive shopping are provided in Dundee. Wormit also offers excellent outdoor opportunities, with a charming coastal walk along the waterfront of Wormit Bay and vibrant countryside to explore, including quaint villages like Gauldry and Balmerino, the latter of which is home to a 13th Century abbey ruin celebrated in verse by William McGonagall. Excellent primary schooling is provided locally, with secondary and further education at Dundee and St Andrews. In addition, the area is served by regular buses to Dundee.
The opening of the Tay road bridge in 1966 ensured Dundee became easily accessible from north-east Fife.
Tayport, Newport-on-Tay and Wormit are strung along the estuary's southern bank hillside, enjoying spectacular views over the river and the two bridges. Away from the waterfront are villages like Gauldry and Balmerino, with the latter's beauty and ruined 13th Century abbey celebrated in verse by William McGonagall. It enjoys Conservation Area status.
Newport was briefly christened "New Dundee" by Guildrymen who financed development plans. The pier and inn date back to 1715 with a Telford-designed harbour built in 1820.
Tayport rubs up against the Tentsmuir Nature Reserve and is home to Scotscraig Golf Club. In times past it was known as Ferry-port on Craig, before the Victorian railway line arrived in the 1850s.
These communities may look towards Dundee for "big city" amenities but easily accessible Cupar and St Andrews also provide secondary school educational and shopping options.
