Tayport history
Ferry-Port on Craig saw a dramatic increase in population at the end of the 18th century. A ferry service across the Tay was already well established when these lands were granted to Arbroath Abbey about 1180. A chapel was built in the early 13th century, possibly more of an abbey than chapel.
Tayport etymology
The settlement was originally called Port na Creige (the Harbour of the Rock) in Scottish Gaelic. As the use of Gaelic declined in Fife, this was re-analyized in Scots as Port-on-Craig. In the 1850s, the Edinburgh, Perth and Dundee Railway Company established a railway service running from Edinburgh to Aberdeen that passed through Ferry.
