	Bambooweb: Broughty Castle
		Broughty Castle, completed around 1495, was surrendered to the English in 1547 by Lord Gray following the Battle of Pinkie; it wasn't for another three years, in February 1550 that the French and Scots managed to recapture it.
		The castle was attacked again, in 1651 by General Monck and his Parliamentary army during the English Civil War.
		The castle remained in military use until 1932, and later between 1939 and 1949.

	Broughty Ferry Tourist Information on AboutBritain.com
		Long before trains started steaming into Broughty Ferry station in the mid 1800's, returning the jute barons of Dundee to their mansions on the hill, or delivering the young ones and their nannies to the beach, the town was but a cluster of fisherfolks' cottages, around the harbour of Partan Craig, or Crab Rock.
		It would not have been unusual to see fishermen mending their nets in the shadow of Broughty Castle, which was completed in 1496 and fought over until it was offered for sale in 1821, with the suggestion that it would make a good situation for an inn.
		Broughty Ferry was once known as "the Brighton of Scotland", with trains dispensing visitors throughout the summer and a line of bathing boxes along the sands revealing bathing belles in knee-length costumes.
