Ar an lá seo 29 Meán Fómhair 1902, cailleadh William Topaz McGonagall
údar 'The Tay Bridge Disaster', an dán is fearr a scríobhadh riamh, i dteanga ar bith. Beidh cuimhne go deo ar thús an dáin sin:

Beautiful railway bridge of the silv'ry Tay
Alas! I am very sorry to say
That ninety lives have been taken away
On the last sabbath day of 1879
Which will be remember'd for a very long time.
