Newport-on-Tay in North Fife, Scotland, was previously named New Dundee and was regarded as a fashionable place to reside by the wealthy Jute Barons of Dundee in the 19th century. Consequently this led to the village of Wormit being established as a commuter town and rail link between Newport-on-Tay and Dundee.
