ok this is a restaurant but a great place to stop if you are planning a walk along the beach from Broughty Ferry. Recent views suggest there is a waiting time for food- perhaps try an icecream or drink?

Alas! I am very sorry to say
That ninety lives have been taken away
On the last Sabbath day of 1879,
