Scope and Content Tay Bridge, Angus This railway viaduct replaced an earlier structure on an adjacent site, designed by Sir Thomas Bouch, which was partly blown in 1879. This one was designed by WH and Crawford Barlow, and constructed by Tancred, Arrol & Co. This view shows the bridge from the south east. The stumps of the piers of the first bridge can bee seen to the right. The bridge is built of wrought iron, and incorporates some of the undamaged girders from the original bridge. Wormit Station, on the left in this view, was on the branch line to Tayport. The building was later dismantled and re-erected at the Bo'ness station of the Scottish Railway Preservation Society Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
