And that's surely a gorgeous old Dakota on the apron.

there used to be a great restaurant overlooking the tarmac while that was main terminal!

Wonderful old photo! Love the building and that airplane is classic.

Just an overall classic picture, beautiful "snapshot in time" !

I came up from Limerick a few times in the '50's on "educational tours" and part of our education was to be taken out there and to see the building which was considered 'state of the art' at that time! Internally it is still a very attractive building though it is hard to even see it today due to all the other buildings put up around it. If my memory serves me right I saw an Aer Linte Super Constellation there though some airplane buff might correct that for me???

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!

Yes, I do wish I was here also. I have a lovely memory of this though.

These are just simply amazing.

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.

NO cars I LOVE IT : O)

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.
