The Tidal Harbour at Dundee formed part of the docks complex to the W of the N end of the present Tay Road Bridge (NO42NW 75). An unlocked basin, it gave access to both Earl Grey Dock (NO43SW 515, to the W) and King William IV Dock (NO43SW 1002.00, to the N). It is noted and depicted by GIS historic mapping (epoch 2).
The location assigned to this record remains unverified from current map evidence within an area of car parks and urban redevelopment.
