Bridgefoot, previously called Kirkton of Strathmartine, is a village in Angus, Scotland. It lies approximately one mile north of Dundee, to the west of Strathmartine Hospital.[1]

It is said that a Celtic stone ringed via an iron fence, to the North of the village marks the spot where a dragon died.[2]
