Probably a pipe dream, but if you ever went to Inverness and wanted to visit one of the most remote areas in Scotland a trip over the sea to the Western Isles would be very interesting. No big clubs, just a variety of smaller clubs who I’m sure would be grateful to have you and have equally as much history as some large clubs with connections to many of the large clubs around Scotland. On the island of Eriskay stands one of the most unique pitches in the world: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-32824967 which FIFA designated as one of the eight strangest football pitches in the world. As well as this, in Stornoway there is the largest Rangers supporters club in the world which has a lot of club memorabilia and many former players visit. We would be grateful to have you and no one would turn you away!

Dundee is a place like no other. The 360 degree view from the Law Hill is incredible. You have incredible views for miles all around. Then you have the Waterfront which looks amazing especially with the 2 bridges and the views over to Fife. You are then only 10 minutes on the bus to gorgeous little Broughty Ferry and the beach! There is still a lot more that could be done but most of the schemes have all been replenished with new housing so they all look so much better. You are never far from anything in Dundee and you will find some really nice parks dotted around the city. Also, have a walk up the Perth Road and just look at those views across the Tay. For all the bad press Dundee gets, you will be shocked by just how much it has to offer. The nightlife in Dundee used to be amazing but like most places it has died a death. Really enjoyed the video. Glad you seem to have enjoyed the delights Dundee has to offer. Cheers 👍

I’ve had a great pleasure in working for both of these clubs one as coach for mental health football team ran by United and as a bar supervisor for Dundee FC, the inside of both of these stadiums are amazing Dundee I feel has a more historic feel to it, has lots of dark wood in there lounges my favourite was to work in the lounge where all the executive people used to go until I drop a whole tray of pints and was put to work in the lounge full of all the fans, i was only 16 and never new that pints where heavy, Both these clubs hold a very special place in my heart from going to watch Dundee as a kid, with my grandad and going to work along side untied and Dundee, they are very community spirited, making sure there players engage in local projects and business, if you want a interesting subject look for the mental health teams in Scotland some of the teams are amazing especially the ones backed from big clubs.

Born in Dundee and lived opposite Dundee’s stand on the top floor and all you can see is the roof. Became a United supporter as a boy because Dundee were so snobbish they would not let me view the players at practice whereas United in the second league at that time in their rickety wooden stand had no problems letting me in to view the players. I remember the strips used during their games starting with the two narrow hoops at chest height, then they went to all white with black trim, there was an all black strip that they used once that was apparently a mistake by the supplier, plus a checkered black and white large squares that was never seen again. Bummer for me when I bought the scarf with the two white strips and they changed to tangerine. Fond memories of Dundee, now retired in the Philippines.

Good watch mate. You should do some of the more obscure places in Scotland, like the Highland league.

I first came to Scotland from south of the border at the very end of August 1991 for a few days. After driving as far as Inverness I came down to Dundee and went to see United play Aberdeen at Tannadice. It was a very unusual experience having stood between both grounds. The game was a goalless draw spoilt by some poor refereeing decisions. I stood on the old terracing before the current stand was built and I never forget the view of the stand at the far corner. It was one of the most unusual stands I've seen. The match was played on the same day as Celtic v Rangers and Hearts v Hibs. Looking back, had Queen's Park played at home, I could have gone to Hampden Park instead having already been to the old Wembley. I don't remember much of the town center back then but it does look pretty on your video.

My pal once came up to visit me from London. I took him on a whisky tour and to St Andrews and the thing he was most impressed with was Clarke's 24 hr bakery haha

Another wee bit of info for people in 2003 Dundee Fc had Claudio Caniggia and Fabrizio Ravanelli playing for them

[@FootyAdventures]

Two good players to be fair!

The statue might have been "Desperate Dan" a cartoon Wild West hero from DC Thompson (based in Dundee).

You need to go and see Scone Thistle F.C. where the late great George Best played one of his charity matches. When he was in the village, he visited the Aerodrome Inn (now a restaurant called Kinnears) for a pint with his girlfriend, Mary Stavin, who was a Miss World.

Dundee United also got to the European Cup semi-final in 1984 losing 3-2 on aggregate to Roma. Roma were beaten by Liverpool in the final in their own ground.

[@FootyAdventures]

Such a good european record they have

[@colinanderson7384]

@@FootyAdventures Yes, in the 1980's they beat the likes of Monaco, Borussia Moenchengladbach(twice), Rapid Vienna, Werder Bremen, Hajduk Split, FC Lens all of whom were big names in Europe at that time. Also, Dundee United have averaged a cup final appearance once every two years during the last 40 years. They have a good cup pedigree but winning them has proved more difficult! Two Scottish Cups and two league cups they have. They won the top league for the only time in 1983.

[@FootyAdventures]

@@colinanderson7384 nice!

[@kilwolski]

Colin Anderson Roma bribed the ref that year so united would have won the final

[@colinanderson7384]

@@kilwolski Yes was alleged then supposedly admitted years later. However, some of the United players did admit that they played poorly amidst the toxic atmosphere, so how knows if it would have panned out different if they had played better. It would have been difficult against Liverpool in the final if they had made it but to think the likes of Dundee United and Aberdeen were competing at that level is some achievement for provincial clubs

[@windowken]

A lot of great info mate cheers

Glad you enjoyed it
