    I'm really enjoying the historic photographs that the National Galleries of Scotland has added to Flickr: The Commons! Great selection! Thanks!

    The perspective of this view is odd - it looks as though the road descends towards the west.

    What a wonderful series of photos. It looks quite unchanged, and is one of the loveliest walks, from Holyrood to the Castle. :) Wish I were there now!
  • inquisitive hope said:
    Yes, I do wish I was here also. I have a lovely memory of this though.

    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.

    so wonderful to see these images from days long gone
  • BasketMakers said:
    It is interesting to see this photographic documentation of the late 19th century roots of what we in America now think of as an Appalachian ribbed melon basket. No doubt this functional rib framed basket type has even earlier origins. It is a basketmaking tradition which Scottish basket makers most likely brought with them as they immigrated to America. Thank you for posting it.
