B946

This route begins at the "Sandford" Junction on the A92, immediately a private road on the right takes you to St Fort and the Moffat and Williamson depot. The road rises steeply and the former Sandford Hotel drive way is on the left. The road descends at a lesser gradient than it rose to Newton Farm where there is a popular fishing pond and a sharp right hand bend. The road passes under a railway bridge and the access to the sand quarry. The road then continues past the unclassified Links Wood road (that leads to 5 Roads roundabout) and the Gauldry junction before entering the former Burgh of Newport-On-Tay at Wormit.

Wormit

Initially the village lines the road on only the south side with overhead line powered street lighting, before briefly picking up on both sides then disappearing again at the former Wormit farm where the farm cottages line the road on the railway side and Viewmount road appears high above on the hill.

The village picks up properly as we come into sign of the railway bridge with junctions to Bridgehead place, Mount Stewart Road, Hillpark Road and Bay Road in order. The road follows along the hillside above Woodhaven where the village used to once dissapear forming a definite boundary with Newport. However recent developments mean we flow into Newport past the Police Station (the boundary) without any break in Habitation.

Newport-On-Tay (West)

After the Police station there is the former NE Fife Maternity hospital at Netherlea House which now mainly caters for Day and Geriatric care. At the foot of Castle Brae we pass the old toll house and the road narrows drastically. The road continues along the steep hillside with the houses on the south hugging the road and on the north sitting far down towards the river.

Newport-On-Tay (East)

At the Kinbrae Park junction the road splits with Westbound traffic following the High Road and eastbound taking Boat Brae and Boat Road before the roads merge at the Newport in on the High Street. This split was introduced with the building of the Granary Lane Old Folks apartments in the 80's, however both the current and a First Metric Series Landranger show both routes as Secondary.

Climbing the high street there is a Totso with the B995 (Cupar Road) at the Chip Shop. We now continue along the top of the Newport braes with a brilliant view of Dundee and the Tay Road bridge.

As we reach the edge of the village the bridge looms over us and the speed limit changes to 40mph. This continues until just after the Bridge Access road where the road becomes NSL.

Newport Road

Once we pass the access road junction the road becomes the Newport Road. A parking area on the North shows where the road used to cross the railway however this has been upgraded recently and the remaining evidence of this is limited to the line of the shared use path leading to Tayport Common.

Ferryport on Craig

At the cemetery a sign proclaims that you are entering Ferryport-On-Craig, this being the name of the original part of tayport until the North British Railway redubbed the village as Tayport. Here the limit changes to 40mph and we pass Scotscraig Cresecent before plunging into Tayport proper and the 30mph limit.
