Absolutely shocking what happened to the royal arch that should have been a listed building

Still easy to see to see exactly where things are and compare to today , worked as a postie in carnoustie and worked there on the day they closed the queen street office before moving it to the dundee east delivery office

Looks so clean......not like now ...litter and cars everywhere.sad to see

Absolute feckin disgrace, has to be the worst architectural vandalism and stupidity.

harbour is almost gone now

The road bridge has been a curse to the city. It's an ugly looking thing for a start, ruining the views of the river. It's also built in a ridiculous location, bringing traffic right into the centre of the city most of which is just passing through. It's destroyed the entire river front as a busy road has to take traffic out to the ring road. It should have been built at the western edge of the city. Dundee has one of the most notoriously corrupt councils in Britain though.

Can hardly bear to watch the criminal destruction of so much of the old city.

The Montrose I remember.

Lovely!

Perfect example of town planning gone rogue. A lesson for all!

Mind that lifeboat sat just affshore, my pal swam out and started up tame it for a joyride, needless to say he got caught and lifted!!

Was in the City Centre on Monday 9th October, spot the white person?

The year I was born

5:10 Was this some kind of protest against the Queen mother? I see something about Balmoral and working for chickfeed on the signs, it's difficult to make the rest out.

Old enough to remember John (Jack) Lamb the butcher who was a friend of my father. They both attended talks by the guy, Ian Hamilton, who stole the Stone of Destiny. Also remember the Café Gibson, next door and Charlie Reid's shoe shop where I had my feet X-rayed for shoe fit! It was a vibrant High Street unlike now.

Good old socialist vandalism

Milton Mill and Tram terminal demolished by Iraqi vandals HnH construction.

Love seeing auld Monifieth, some cracking pics in this. Well done.

This place is heaven to me ,great memories of days gone by.

That bridge ruined the city. Paid for I believe in part by shopkeepers who assumed that the traffic would stop and shop in dundee but all it did was cause congestion. Dundee lost it's access to the waterfront and the docks which would have been an asset today.

I was a youngster in my final year at North Links Primary when this was made. I well remember the salmon nets and the cobles of Joseph Johnston bringing in the catches - big silver salmon glinting in the sunlight. It's remarkable how different Montrose looks around the mouth of the South Esk and the harbour. This was shot just before the big changes that accompanied the building of the oil support base on the south side of the river and the old Wet Dock being filled in and Rossie Island ceasing to be an island. When the film shifts to the North Esk and the Northwater Bridge the music is from the Allegretto from "Four Scottish Dances" by Malcom Arnold. A lovely piece, we had it played at my mother's funeral earlier this year.

What a beautiful video and song..Thank you so much..I love the old photos.

I remember as a child July 1956 ? At some type of tented large show when it got dark fire balls like Stonehaven two or three were swung about very startling a very long time a go 😀

My friend John Murray 19th bb.pal of jim Craig 44th bb.both sadly passed away john gave me a lot of history 1st broughty ferry boy's brigade in 1909 to 1912 had a pipe band ,a bugle band ,and a brass band no other company in Britain had 3 different bands going on at the same time all there names and addresses are at dundee museum, I gave a 1901 photo of coy at orchar Park the full company on parade with brass band the company were attached to broughty ymca photo in City archives the 1 St broughty had over 180 members from 11 to 18 years old in the early 1900 a long time a go

It must have been april 1970 myself as an apprentice with avery dundee and my friend and journey man jim Ford from Perth Pooley part of averys group repaired the tay ferries weigh bridge ,as te building was given to weights and measures dept dundee city Council it was a hard job the bolts had to be cut of by hand they were reinforced lol when the plates were of the pit was full of gunka foot deep plenty of frogs etc took ages to clean out .when repaired took a week it was checked by inspector Willie johnsone the final check by chief inspector jimmy millar and stamped by him after a slight difference between jim and Jimmy about the one pencil ✏ mark at 20 ton ĺol.a few years later the tay whale was weighed on the weigh bridge a long time a go .Happy days .

So many happy memories of Arbroath,i thank the Lord for having been born and brought up there.

Fukin crime, Dundee City Council morons, totally destroyed our city

Love this..my father was manager of Jollys Hotel in Gray St from 73-83, and I lived there for a few years, and visited often. Can still name all the streets without the caption even after nearly 50 years. Great memories, thnk you.

I come from Carnoustie. But it is 40 years since I saw our Carnoustie. So thank you for sharing this pleasure for me .I am a wee bitty home sick Saol gra gaire slantse bhath

When brechin had shops

brilliant

brilliant

Enjoying this 👍🏻

Great photos

The old Overgate, University Rag week, the 'Fifies' some things should never have changed. A lot of things have changed for the better but I felt the heart of the city was ripped out when they (allegedly corrupt council) agreed to the demolition of the old Overgate rather than internally modernising of the existing buildings, a bit like the Royal mile in Edinburgh. Still at least the rerouting of the Tay Bridge and giving back access to the waterfront is a step in the right direction. I also doubt very much whether the whole Rag week escapades would be acceptable in this very PC day and age of 'social justice warriors', 'snowflakes' and the 'woke' generation.

West station was a stunning building , I know it would be in the middle of the new waterfront development adjacent to Malmaison but still I wish it could have been saved...

i would appreciate a date of when they were all taken thanks though!!!! Epic video mate!

While there are some differences not that much has changed since I was there as a kid in the 1950s-60s ! :)

Absolutely beautiful. Just lovely. McIntyre

Nice photos

Nice post cards,I am a new sub

Put together brilliantly and the music is just right - well done!

The ferry seen in this film went on to appear in the Robin Williams movie Popeye www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/nostalgia/1299094/the-last-ferry-to-make-the-tay-crossing-in-1966-went-on-to-become-a-star-in-hollywood-with-robin-williams/

That was a brilliant nostalgic look back, many thanks.
