Broughty Ferry : ウィキペディア英語版 | Broughty Ferry
Broughty Ferry (Scottish Gaelic: ''Bruach Tatha'', Scots: ''Brochtie'') is a suburb on the eastern side of Dundee, Scotland. It is located on the shore of the Firth of Tay. "''The Ferry''" was formerly an independent burgh from 1864 until it was annexed by the City of Dundee in 1913. ==Etymology== The name Broughty Ferry may derive from ''Bruach Tatha'' meaning "Taybank" in Scottish Gaelic. A piece of folk etymology holds that the name derives from the Lowland Scots ''broch'', meaning some form of fortification, with the 'ty' being a shortening of the name of the River Tay, and Ferry being added later in recognition of the town's role as a ferry port. However, this is unlikely, as the word order would probably be "Tay Broch", rather than "Broch Tay".
