Editing River Tay (section)

==Cultural references==
The Tay bridge is the subject of [[William McGonagall]]'s poems "Railway Bridge of the Silvery Tay" and "[[The Tay Bridge Disaster]]", and in the German poet [[Theodor Fontane]]'s poem "''Die Brück' am Tay''{{-"}}. Both deal with the Tay bridge disaster of 1879, seeing the bridge's construction as a case of human hubris and expressing an uneasiness towards the fast technological development of mankind.<ref name=Smith/>
