    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.

    John Brown was the servant who became close to Queen Victoria after the death of Prince Albert. Their relationship was the subject of the 1997 movie "Mrs. Brown," starring Dame Judi Dench and Billy Connolly. "Much gossip attached to the unlikely relationship and much animosity generated by those who resented the trust placed in the 'low-born' Brown by the Queen. The Queen refused to desert Brown because of the scandalous talk - which she dismissed as 'ill-natured gossip' " From the Royal Deeside website: John Brown, Faithful Servant to Queen Victoria --

    Hi, this photo has been mentioned in a discussion thread in the Flickr Commonsgroup, and we'd love to have this added to the group pool! -- Seen in a discussion of Flickr Commons. (?)

    Wow, i'd never seen a photo of John Brown before, only heard the story.
  • Madame Maracas said:
    He looks as though his glare could melt the film, as if the photographer is intruding. Which I guess would fit the story as we know it.

    To see these two! It is totally a smashing photograph!

    Striped socks must have been the fashion then!
  • Rich said:
    There are officially a few brilliant beards in this photo. wow
  • Michael Salerno said:
    What a fabulous find.
    Please not EVERY man in this shot is wearing a waistcoat.
    The horizontal striped stockings are a bit much for my taste but then I never was one to follow the fashion of the moment.
