Newport PierPierNewport Pier; Newport Pier; Newport Pier; PierJames Shepherd, Superintendent; Alexander Dingwall, Sea Mills; Mr. John Just, Clarville; Johnson's Co. Map.On the North side of the village of Newport and margin of the Firth of Tay.This pier was built about 30 years ago, in connexion with the ferry between Newport and Dundee, the neighbouring proprietors and Dundee merchants taking shares in the undertaking. A steamer plys between the two towns every half hour during the day, with passengers and luggage. There are two fixed lights on this pier, by means of which a sand bank is cleared. The offices connected with the pier, are the booking office waiting rooms and stores. The pier and steamer became by purchase the property of the Scottish Central Railway Company.
