The River Tay... is the longest river in Scotland and the seventh-longest in the United Kingdom. The Tay originates in western Scotland on the slopes of Ben Lui..., then flows easterly across the Highlands, through Loch Dochart, Loch Iubhair and Loch Tay, then continues east through Strathtay (see Strath), in the centre of Scotland, then southeasterly through Perth, where it becomes tidal, to its mouth at the Firth of Tay, south of Dundee. It is the largest river in the UK by measured discharge. Quoted from Wikipedia

Oor Wullie (English: Our Willie) is a Scottish comic strip published in the D.C. Thomson newspaper The Sunday Post. It features a character called Wullie Russell. Wullie is the familiar Scots nickname for boys named William. His trademarks are spiky hair, dungarees and an upturned bucket, which he uses as a seat - most strips since early 1937 begin and end with a single panel of Wullie sitting on his bucket. The earliest strips, with little dialogue, ended with Wullie complaining ("I nivver get ony fun roond here!"). The artistic style settled down by 1940 and has changed little since. A frequent tagline reads, "Oor Wullie! Your Wullie! A'body's Wullie!" (Our Willie! Your Willie! Everybody's Willie!). Quoted from Wikipedia .

In winter, from Tay Street, Goldeneye ducks can be seen diving. The inspiration for this piece was taken from one of William Soutar’s poems, The River . The artist has attempted to ‘extract’ a cubic meter (sic) from the river Tay and in it a Goldeneye duck is diving for molluscs. Quoted from the River Tay Public Art Trail Leaflet .

"Although the monogram on the enamel plate shows this as a George VI box, the initials on the aperture casting have been modified. This was originally an Edward VIII box, that was adapted during the manufacturing process. As such, it's probably unique." Quoted from ' On the Trail of Edward VIII ' by David Chandler. In the UK, a Ludlow wall box is a post box where mail is deposited to be collected by the Royal Mail and forwarded to the addressee. They are built into stone pillars or the walls of buildings and are never found free-standing. This is because they are made largely from wood. They were nearly all made by the now-defunct company of James Ludlow & Son of Birmingham, whose name they take. Similar designs exist as historical artefacts in certain Commonwealth countries. Ludlow style boxes have been in use since 1885 and were in continuous manufacture until 1965. Quoted from Wikipedia .
