Broughty Castle's square stone tower and walls on a grassy point above the Tay

Broughty Ferry beach and castle

Castle Green, Broughty Ferry, about four miles east of the city centre

Address: Castle Approach, Broughty Ferry, Dundee DD5 2TF
  • Outdoors

  • Best in Spring, Summer

Walk the sandy beach at Broughty Ferry, then look round the 15th-century castle at the harbour, now a free museum.

Why it's a good date: It feels like a day at the seaside without leaving the city. The castle museum opens seasonally, and Brook Street has plenty of cafés and pubs for chips or a pint afterwards.
