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.

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.

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

An amazing video, I thank you so much.

My people were Dundonians going back to the 1700's ... thanks for posting this!

My gran and grandad both worked in the Jute mills and received a pension from the mill for life

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

Great looking back, but not the same Dundee today. Worked in Keillor (butterscotch) also NCR. Now in Los Angeles. Ellenie Robb

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

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

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.

look how happy their faces were to have finished the working day.....

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

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.

2:27 that voice break though

My Gran was a Dundee weaver too! I have visited Dundee, 45 yrs ago, and dream of returning to Scotland someday. My Granddad was a Seaforth Highlander was wounded in France. I plan to do research on my Grandparents to learn more about my Dundonean roots

Shocking decision to demolish the royal arch.

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.
