Die 1809 von Thomas Telford erbaute, auf sieben Bogen ruhende Brücke leistet noch heute zufriedenstellend ihren Dienst
und ist gleichzeitig ein architektonisches Schmuckstück.
A Descriptive Poem on the Silvery Tay
by William McGonagall, 1830-1902
"Beautiful silvery Tay,
With your landscapes, so lovely and gay,
Along each side of your waters, to Perth all the way;
No other river in the world has got scenery more fine,
Only I am told the beautiful Rhine,
Near to Wormit Bay, it seems very fine,
Where the Railway Bridge is towering above its waters sublime,
And the beautiful ship Mars,
With her Juvenile Tars,
Both lively and gay,
Does carelessly lie
By night and by day,
In the beautiful Bay
Of the silvery Tay.
Beautiful, beautiful! silvery Tay,
Thy scenery is enchanting on a fine summer day,
Near by Balmerino it is beautiful to behold,
When the trees are in full bloom and the cornfields seems like gold
And nature's face seems gay,
And the lambkins they do play,
And the humming bee is on the wing,
It is enough to make one sing,
While they carelessly do stray,
Along the beautiful banks of the silvery Tay,
Beautiful silvery Tay, rolling smoothly on your way,
Near by Newport, as clear as the day,
Thy scenery around is charming I'll be bound...
And would make the heart of any one feel light and gay on a fine summer day,
To view the beautiful scenery along the banks of the silvery Tay."
Ja, Mr. Telford konnte bauen. Das Bild gefällt mir unheimlich gut, die Brücke strahlt richtig im goldenen Licht des frühen Morgens, und die Sträucher rechts unten tun viel, um alles noch besser wirken zu lassen.
