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.

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.
