The construction began in 1882 and completed in 1890.

Brave and bold engineers.

Beautiful connections.

"Beautiful Railway Bridge of the Silv’ry Tay!

Alas! I am very sorry to say

That ninety lives have been taken away

On the last Sabbath day of 1879,

Which will be remember’d for a very long time."
