The Fifies

Until the Tay Road Bridge was built in the '60s, the "Fifies" were the best way of crossing the river. As a child I lived in Victoria Road, Dundee, in a top floor tenement flat whose kitchen offered a panoramic view.

I too have fond memories. We used to take the Fifies oe'r tae Fife tae visit granny in Elie in the summer. While the Scotscraig and Abercraig were sister ships, it didn't take me long to convince my dad to wait for the old B.L. Nairn paddlewheeler. What a beaut!!!
