So much of the beautiful old city was torn down by corrupt philistines in the '60s. May Dundee flourish in years to come.

I would be great see how housing estates where build from early on years after ww2 people came out war and look for work and start to build housing estates for people get out old city of dundee to rebuild again. Kl uk

Wonderful pictures . .

Ace 🙂

No cars clogging up streets then.

Love looking at pics of Auld Dundee. It’s such a shame the council ripped the heart out of it and demolished some lovely buildings. 😭

90*6

Great collection.

Bill Hanlon The photo 0:04 to 0:06 is of 61 Wilkies Lane immediately across from St Joseph's church,( just out of sight Immediately behind the wall and the kids on the left), If you removed the wash house and the railings on the wall it was exactly as I remember it as a wee boy, A Muslim Mosqe now stands on this site. Cheers

The reply below says that it is the West Port in St. Andrews! Some of the other photos look doubtful.

The photo showing an elaborate gateway with three openings is new to me. Where was that in Dundee? It is too wide to be the Wishart Gate that is (or was) in Cowgate.

Most of these photos were taken last week.

Very enjoyable compilation, thanks. However the picture at 0.56 is not of Dundee, it is the West Port in St Andrews, Fife.

Some of these pics show abject destitution .Nothing to be proud of.

thanks for the offer of photos, very kind. i actually spent a few days in Dundee last month and took some pictures of the parts which still exist. it's really the dance hall and boxing booth my grandfather ran in the 1930s, probably in william lane (now gone) that remains a mystery, i would just love to find a photograph of it. My cousin Dr Albert Jacob former GP in Dundee now retired sends his regards to all.

My grandfather (Isaac Jacob) came from Russia to Dundee (via London) around 1910 and my father was born 1915 at 201 Overgate. Later Isaac had a shoe business at 205 Overgate and he moved to 13 and 15 William Street. He also had a boxing booth and dance hall in William Lane in the 1930's. Isaac's son David (my uncle) and Grandson Albert (my cousin) were both doctors in the City for many years. I know William Street still exists, but can anyone say if any of these photos relate to any of the other locations please?

Every time I watch this video my heart melts as I watch this old city then with a touching music played alongside. lived there from 2010 to 2012 and I MISS Dundee thanks for uploading :)

Yes Dundee had its heart ripped out. I have many happy memories of Dundee from childhood. My grandparents stayed at 105 Hawkhill and my dad was born at 27 Isles Lane (his grandparents house) in 1917. Although I was born and brought up in Edinburgh I am a Dundonian at heart.

Excellent!

Hi again, if you Check Victorian Dundee 1 on UA-cam and drag the button to 4.50, you'll get the other side of the foot of the Hilltown. That picture's been taken around the same time as the other one and probably by the same photographer.

Drag the button to 2.42 & that's the foot of the Hilltown (fut o' the Hull) going up to the left. The picture was taken from Victoria Road. The buildings you see there were still there in the 60s. There was a long police box in the middle of the Hilltown; level with that lower building. It stood above an underground gent's toilet. Between the police box & the toilet entrance was a phone kiosk. They were there years before I was born, in 1949. That photo must be around late 1800s/early 1900s.

I'm 63. My mum was born in 1910 (soon after her family came to Dundee) and she would have remembered much of that Dundee. My Dad would have remembered much of it too but he didn't come to Dundee till the thirties. I can still remember much from the fifties and the sixties. However, I'm certain the triple archway is the one in St Andrews; it's definitely not Dundee. Sad to see what Dundee's lost. Tam Moore (the Provost Riddoch of the 60s & 70s) and his cronies have much to answer for.

Wonderful pictures there, I have to show these to my Gran, who is 98 and sharp as a tac - she'll remember a lot of those old buildings that are no longer there.

i wood like to

i like this

I know the feeling - feeling quite nostalgic as I view these pics. What a shame the author didn't identify all of the pics :-( I was born on the Hawkhill, my aunty and uncle lives in Kincardine St and I was terrified to walk up the stairs like the ones in this pic - i clung to the inside so that I wouldn't fall out!!! I was no more than a child!

where did you get the pics from, i am doing a documentary on broughty ferry btw lovely video!

0:06 "no smoking allowed--John Grant and sons"--That plumbing business was well ahead of its time.

Hi, I am currently working on a project for the ferry wanted to ask where you sourced the photos for this slide show from? Great video.
