Nice to see old Dundee! I sure loved garden plots, and the love of gardening when I visited.

Looks like it was taken from about geo:lat=56.465999 geo:lon=-2.863304 Looking northeast towards Panmure Street. So according to the aerial photo on Google Maps, the buildings on the left of the road have been demolished.

neither of the above comments match this photo?. It's amazing to see how wide the street looked back then, it is so narrow nowadays.

Its nothing near Panmure Street Bruce. Its Castle Street looking north to the High Street prior to the demolition of the Trades Hall, I am developing a habit of correcting wrong descriptions.

wonderful. I've seen a similar portrait at his house in Vailima Apia, Samoa where he is looking at the camera. perhaps there was a series of images taken at the time.

What eyes! Such a beautiful portrait by Smith.

Brilliant to see the Galleries on the Commons! Just thought I would make a reciprocal connection between this image and the Robert Louis Stevenson set on our Flickr account [http://www.flickr.com/photos/nlscotland/sets/72157604377830216/]
