Tayport is located in Fife, Scotland.
The motto of the Burgh of Tayport: Te oportet alte ferri - "It is incumbent on you to carry yourself high" - is actually a rather terrible pun on: Tayport at auld Tay Ferry.
Tayport lies close to the north east tip of Fife. To the north it looks across the River Tay to Broughty Ferry and Broughty Castle. To the east is the vast Tentsmuir Nature Reserve, an area of forested dunes measuring some 3 km from east to west and 6 km from north to south and edged by wide sands that continue all the way round to the mouth of the River Eden.
