[https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0006gz1/the-river-a-year-in-the-life-of-the-tay]</ref> It is the longest river in [[Scotland]] and the sixth longest in the [[United Kingdom]]. It starts in the Scottish Highlands, and moves east until it goes through [[Perth, Scotland|Perth]]. Its mouth is wide, and is called the Firth of Tay on the east coast. [[Dundee]] is on the north bank of the Firth. The Tay's very wide mouth is spanned by a long rail bridge, the replacement for the one which fell in the [[Tay Bridge disaster]]. The Tay Road Bridge was opened in 1966. == References == {{reflist}} {{-}} {{multistub|geo|UK}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Tay, River}} [[Category:Rivers of Scotland]]
