The Story Of Dundee

The Story Of Dundee ... Another great documentary film sent to me from brand63 :) - check out his and this channel for more Dundee videos!

[@ianedmonds9191]

I feel like a patriot. Dundee is an awesome city. I grew up there and lived there for some 33 years. Great place. Wish there were more jobs. I'd live there again. Loads of good memories. Now in Dunfermline, Not so many... You go where you have to. Globalisation is to to blame and it sucks. Luv and Peace.

I lived in the Seagate, Dundee during WW2. The buildings are now replaced by M&S. I look on Dundee as 'home' although it’s many years since I visited. Thanks for your very interesting and informative video.

[@AFV85]

It's a total dive now and not a nice place to live! Always looking over your shoulder it's terrible! I had an attempt murder on my life from a guy wanting a tenner of me for his crack that was the most frightening time of my life! I'm born an bred here it's a right frightening place now so many on there arse just looking to rob you at no cost n thought to anyone's life! Ww2 was probably safer than what it is today! My Grandfather was evacuated during ww2 he was just a wee boy at the time he's not long passed away at the good age of 87 so you must be doing well able to comment on a KZbin video he didn't have a clue even what KZbin was Haha.

HI DundeeDude, I'd like to thank you for putting up my video on KZbin! I'm disappointed my name seems to have been missed off at the start of the film, though the producer Roy Stewart gets a mention. The script was based on my successful book 'Discovery Dundee: Story of a City' which sold very well over many years and is still on sale. Could you find a way to get my name up on the title as the author of the video - though I appreciate you taking time to upload it - Best - Andrew Murray Scott

[@robbo2347]

[@samson23108]

Loved the video. Can you tell me when this was made, to my eye, it looks like early 90s.

[@infaride]

Great video. Dundee has a certain magic to it that Edinburgh and Glasgow just don't have.

[@jimthescotsman]

My name is Jim Wade 42. My Dad same name Jim Wade 69, he was fae the hilltoon and I was born raised Fintry. Him and me miss Dundee with our hearts , both moved to Canada in 1989 when he separated to my mum May Wade. Canada is nothing special fellow Scots. Surrounded by a bunch of Bampots here. Was too difficult to come back though. But awesome seeing footage like this . I lived 3-4 years in Tealing would visit that Tealing Earth Hoose. 3-5 times a month. Funny seeing it 30 years later.

[@jimthescotsman]

Ahh kind words Arthur. My heart lies there and no where else

[@jacquelinebrunder2384]

The sooner Victoria's statue is removed and replaced with one of McGonagall the better. He at least brought something to Dundee whereas she like her relations merely took.

[@marleybu7984]

Nah, we need vicky to store traffic cones on her heid 😂😂😂

[@AlwaysAC]

What a cracking idea

[@AFV85]

Been done lol! We used to do that every weekend after the Circus then Went on to be the London nightclub then the good auld enigma! Start o the ecto days lol

[@jacquelinebrunder2384]

The Tay bridge fell not only because of bad practices on site but because when Bouch asked the British engineering board that had jurisdiction in these matters what wind force he should use in his calculations they laughed and told him to use zero. He ignored them and at least added wind force to the calculations but nowhere near enough as it turned out. Many people were to blame for the disaster not only the company and poor old Bouch who is now remembered in the phrase to make a Bouch of something.

[@rossco29]

I like the Massed Dundee Pipes and Drums on that video during Admiral Duncan's ceremony

[@edshift]

However. Dundee is and always has been great city. Revolutionary and forward thinking. We will not be subjagated again. The Jute was good and bad for us. My grandad managed a jute mill then was shipped out to calcutta to set up it's replacement. Funy tho. My dad worked in timex for 20+ years. Moved to another electronics company in east kilbride. Became Site Director. Got transferred to Ukraine to open it's replacement... History repeating.

[@ianedmonds9191]

Me 8 years ago. Funny. No change in attitude. Luv and Peace.

[@edshift]

Dundee is a great cityto grow up in. Famous for our industrial history and nautical heritage. I sail in my spare time and work for an oil and gas manufaturing company in Fife (shame it's not local:-=( )

EXELLENT THANKS FOR SHARING

[@AFV85]

I must have been 12 when this was recorded with the new flats getting built in the cowgate on here, now my pal has one today! I went to the Nursery right outside the old cowgate. The memories I have when seen that there, the smell of this freeky rubbery plastic postman pat I stole my first day haha never forgot that and my mum going mad haha weird,comes back and the smell and taste of a rich tea and a plastic cut orange juice I just got there! Unbelievable how a wee thing can trigger such a memory! I remember them blue and cream busses and remember when them Royal Navy ships were in Dock my dad took down to see them! He was a taxi driver so got access right to the ships! I definitely was 12 or 13 just in first year! So 97/98 this would have been!?

Remember WALLACE. Scotland's saviour who resisted the English occupation of our land. It began at Dundee castle and still goes on to this day.

[@ianedmonds9191]

It's only a matter of time. Dundee was the most radical Pro Scottish independence city in Scotland and that isn't going to go away. Luv and Peace.

[@fmorant2222]

i was born and brought up in Broughty Ferry.. my dad was a jute agent. i remember 3Js..Jute Jam and Journalism. i also remember Mackies boys being brought over from Ireland.. i remember the wellgate and the steps.. it had character...

[@maddysutherland2112]

It must have been at least 10 years ago, because Dudhopestreet doesn't seem to have split yet in the film. My guess, the 80s?

97/98 I remember a few thing's that stand out in this from when I was just starting hight school likenthe new flats getting built at cowgate amd the Royal Navy fleet docking in Dundee for 4 days! M6.dad was a taxi driver and has access right down to the ships he took me down to see them it was heavy rain so the security weren't giving a monkies what taxis were coming in they must have thought it was the crew coming back from the town or something!

Dun Dei means hill of the deity, hill of God.

[@heraldeventsandfilms5970]

I think it is Pictish. 'Dun' meaning 'fort', that one being on the Tay.

[@paulcrawford1108]

this documentary says that the iconic william wallace was somebody who murdered a man for being cheeky about his country thats radical extemist isn't it?

No NCR or that now lucky we still have a Uni but many new videos this week titled " why not to go to Dundee University " not watched them yet so can't make a comment on that.

[@nacho1560]

FAO Dundee Dude. One thing I haven't been able to verify. This video claims that Bonnie Dundee (John Graham of Claverhouse) left Dundee for his campaign against the English ending in his death at Killiecrankie in 1689. The video claims he left with his men from Mains Castle which is a small 16th century fortress. Now that may well be the case but any other books or references I have read say he left from Dudhope which is far more credible as he lived there. Relatives of Graham did live in Mains and I hope the video is correct as it's a favourite little spot of mines. I have tried to access brand63 who is said to be the author of this video but he seems to have gone from KZbin. Any info you may have as to the source of the Mains part of the story would be much welcome. Keep up the good work.

Dumbdeh,is only a village, Aberdeen is 73sq mile while Dundee is only 20 and has a population of 147000, compared to the Deen which has over 240000,they should just tear the hovel Doon,ASC

[@scottyg3406]

Aberdeen's nothing but sheep shagging b*******. 🖕

[@aa-xg3ct]

Yes 150 000 in 18sq miles. Aberdeen is 220 000 in a area larger than Glasgow (580 000), Aberdeen is just a large dour wasteland. Maybe they left empty space for some cheery people to move in.

[@Grant-gk5mw]

You can't read and you can't write, it doesn't really matter. Coz you support the Aberdeen and you can drive a tractor. Shed Rule!
