Auld Dundee

Auld Dundee Documentry Film

[@jessiewilliams6561]

I grew up in Dundee and can boast a large family there but we have all drifted apart as families so often do. It was great to see mention of my first work place where I assisted the artist in the art department of DC Thomsons for a time in the 1960s. My grandfather was a Black Watch member during the second war and played the Last Call on the bugle for the unveiling of the war memorial at the top of the Law Hill. Thank you for sharing a fine collection of film portraying my home city. I will forever miss Dundee.

[@jeanvanwyk3431]

My father was born in Dundee and came to South Africa after the war.I have visited Dundee and am proud to say I have Scottish heritage.

[@heero7yui]

It's been almost 2 years since I left and went back home. Still miss Dundee dearly and think about it everyday.

Wish we could go back to these days. Hardly any immigration

[@Mollypopithelen]

I'm amazed at the crowds of people, so many of us.

[@lauralishes1]

20:30 So much for needing migrants to pick fruit, the berry buses were absolutely packed every summer for decades.

[@lauralishes1]

What a shame, we had no diversity to "enrich" us back then, not like the joy they have brought us and so many other cities today.

[@DundeeDude]

Dundee is better cleaner than back in then years gone by kl dundee uk

[@davidnichol6282]

Did Dundee have trams ? As I may have seen the metal lines on the road.

[@jessiewilliams6561]

Yes it had tram lines still in place in the city centre last time I was there but the city planners have in my opinion taken a lot out of the old city and I would not be surprised to see them gone now. It might be cleaner but is not so beautiful. A great deal of the old charm has gone especially by the river front.

[@airdbreck]

[@lauralishes1]

41:50 absolutely disgusting.

[@jacquelinebrunder2384]

The journalism sadly was run by a liar and the lies still flow out of the Courier door every morning. The sooner someone buys that rag and brings real journalism to Dundee the better.

[@allandrummond8028]

That was never always the Case by DC Thompsons i can assure you , That Company looked after its workers

[@martinanderson1995]

And brilliantly the people of Dundee voted out Winston Churchill.

[@BillDFC]

Looks good from a distance...the further away the better.

[@lauralishes1]

Yes, the further away _you_ are from Dundee the better, true.

Dundee has improved a lot over the last few years. Except for the immigrants
