[@littlerugby67]

The amount of tress!!! Bring them back!!

[@dawnyWestScotland]

Love old films and look at those cars! 🐶🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿☀️🌲 Great footage and our Scotland!

[@oddities-whatnot]

I like the old cars and the old music playing. Obviously it wasn’t old then as I’m watching this in 2024 but you know what I mean. Fantastic.

[@ScottishRoyal1]

Old music...God damn 😅

[@starky2.057]

What a fantasist video! Total nostalgia.thanks for upload❤

[@theweeflea]

I know those roads and streets so well. I was in Dundee from 1992 to 2019. Loved every moment....a great city...

[@systemSkynet]

Ward on your wireless. Holy throwback, Batman.

[@James-gf9jl]

Twenty five years! Where has it gone?

[@chips989]

That Blockbuster advert was great. Awesome footage

[@systemSkynet]

The Wild Fishing Scotland boys mustve been welding cos I cant see them belting about in the fanny magnet. Brilliant video. Even though they aint in it.

[@krashd]

5:08 and 5:50 I miss the two skyways that used to take you to the train station or the leisure centre, the river front doesn't feel the same without them.

[@fudgebudge127]

Awesome! Brings back memories of me working on the roof at the Overgate shopping mall!

[@neocharl]

Didn't dundee and all of planet earth get blown up in 1992?

No unicorns. Undead or otherwise. Must be fake.

[@CL-vz6ch]

Dundee should have...

[@davidj009]

Man that radio was as eclectic as my Spotify list. I'm assuming that musta been Tay AM? Genuinely had no idea that they played newer songs pulp/oasis, also don't go away was never released here so they were playing album tracks. Kate Bush to kick it off and tears for fears to end, I feel like I missed out 🤣

[@russy1971]

The Kate Bush bit was a trailer for the Ward on the wireless show. Loved Tay am.

[@grantlivingstone147]

Definitely, when local radio was local!

[@LookItsMrT]

The radio is edited in no? The original video this was taken from just had music

[@sandersson2813]

Tay AM was absolutely insufferable.

Nice to see the sky like it used to be...

[@minimaxi802]

I remember going through Dundee on the way to Aberdeen. That gas holder is not there anymore.

[@bRUTALmALICIOUS]

Yes it is that’s it when it’s full when empty it goes all way down so less noticeable. Pass it most days.

[@neozeed8139]

@9:29 there is a Toys R Us ad for the Sega Megadrive for £129.94. There is no way they were selling that in 1999. I searched, and found the TV spot with the exact same audio "Toys R Us UK TV Advert 1992 (TSW Region) Featuring Sega Mega Drive", and it's from 1992. Which makes more sense listing ot the music, how it's more late 80's. So yeah, 1992!

[@jamesc8523]

I've spent too long sleuthing, guy on radio announces Tay FM thing on Monday 9th January 1995 Mega Drive advert meaning maybe still in 1994. But then the Blockbuster advert later cleary sets it in the Year 2000. So I have no clear conclusion beyond the guy made his own audio and stitched some mixture of eras in.

[@neozeed8139]

@@jamesc8523 yeah its got to be a bunch of stuff stitched together. interesting the weird tells of days of olde

[@MrWolfSnack]

"The original videos had classical music so I replaced it with engine sounds, era appropriate music and some archived radio Tay jingles and adverts I found online to help give it a realistic atmosphere as if you were there."

Looks alot busier with people

[@johnwhite2143]

Wow back then those cars looked normal before i could drive, now all those cars are classics that everyone looks at when drive by, its crazy how things change in just two decades, roads look alot safer too,no distracted drivers texting or on phones lol😁👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Bansidhe]

Load of Cavaliers still about then. Opel Manta on the left just into the Ferry too.

[@jdmguy44]

Or distracted by silly bl00dy big touchscreen displays in cars.

[@Bansidhe]

Funnily enough, seen 2 Cavs in Dundee yesterday within a few mins of one another. Only one of them currently on the road though.

[@James-gf9jl]

Everybody drove classic cars in those days.

[@cucurezenita]

2023 and the roads are full of potholes, in some places you can barely see the markings... definitely looked better back then🤔

[@grantlivingstone147]

Definitely, no overflowing bins weeds everywhere and dirty streets.

[@scottchristie6734]

Was the Tay Bridge toll only one way?

[@riseandshine75]

Intially a toll both ways then one way then toll’s on all road bridges abolished in Scotland early noughties.

[@Finrayy]

@@riseandshine75 Must have been a toll both ways before my time, it's only ever been on the Dundee side heading out for as long as I can remember. Tayporters used to rib us Dundonians by saying Tayport must be that much nicer since you had to pay to get there, whereas getting to Dundee was free lol.

[@Mynameishardstyle1991]

The music's really good

whats that last song?

Brilliant thanks.

Chings I grew up in Dundee in the 60s, left in the late 70s. Im currently reading "The Cresent" a story set in 1890s Dundee and its more recognisable than the Dundee in your video LOL

I got whiplash from that BlockBuster advert

That was a drive thru the Ferry not Dundee

[@cucurezenita]

15 min in Dundee and 5 in Ferry...

[@neozeed8139]

@@cucurezenita @9:30 and its the middle of Dundee, but the AD places it in 1992, not 1999. No way toysrus is selling megadrives in 1999 for £129.94.

[@BungleBare]

@@neozeed8139 I hear what you’re saying - I don’t think anywhere was selling new Megadrives by ‘99. The vehicles in the video point to it being late ‘90s though - not least the gold Mk2 Renault Clio around the 10:30 mark (released in ‘98), and the P reg lorry (August ‘96 onwards) in clear view around the 14:20 mark. There are plenty of other cars visible (Ford Ka, Mk 4 Fiestas, mk2 Rover 400s, a Daihatsu Grand Move, and a Renault Scenic) that were only sold after ‘95 or ‘96. I can’t be sure, but I think there’s even a maroon Audi A4 estate on an S plate at one point. Maybe the audio isn’t the same vintage as the visuals?

[@neozeed8139]

@@BungleBare yeah its got to be different audio, it's the only explanation, no way the advertising people are giving companies free airtime!

Dundee is the only city in Scotland worse than Aberdeen, despite Aberdeen being voted the UKs most miserable city. No wonder 95 percent of Scots live in Edinburgh and Glasgow. There is nothing in the North of Scotland.

Ive been to Dundee a few times, I like going over that bridge, the views are fantastic.
