Broughty Ferry is a small town on the north shore of the River Tay on the east coast of Scotland.

Broughty Ferry is a large residential suburb of Dundee. The Baptist Church is within a conservation area of the original Victorian settlement which also incorporates the main shopping centre, harbour, beach and public services. To the north of the ‘old town’ are a growing number of large private housing developments. Public transport links with central Dundee (4.5 miles to the west) and the Angus coastal towns are good.

There are three primary schools and a large secondary school; five Church of Scotland congregations and single congregations of the Scottish Episcopal and Roman Catholic churches plus three other Christian fellowships, two of whom meet in rented accommodation with the third having recently moved into purpose built accommodation within a new housing development on the northern edge of the town. All of the other church buildings are in the established part of the town.

The population of the suburb is upward of 18,000 but immediately to the east lies the Angus town of Monifieth with a population of 7,000. Monifieth and Broughty Ferry are very similar in population mix and range of services. Both are expanding communities and both have been popular sites for the establishment of residential accommodation for elderly persons.
