[oideroid]

This is amazing. It's great to see moving pictures of Dundee that are this old!

[williamwallacee]

People dont respect dundee anymore, Yes i mean you! council bosses...... why cant you leave just alittle part of dundee the way it used to be?

maybe even put an old dundee tram in the city square as a tourist attraction. ? oh wait i forgot.... thats probably racist or politicaly incorrect of me to say that..... sorry....

council bosses, you want to bloody grow up....... leave dundee the way it was

[BillDFC]

@williamwallacee There is a tiny plaque almost hidden in a wall at the top of the Seagate. It commemorates an incident in Dundee involving our greatest hero.

Dundee Council tries to ignore him, as it tries to ignore our past as an independent nation. Guess who he was? The name you use is a clue.

[williamwallacee]

@BillDFC Yes my friend i do believe it is william wallace. and it says something along the lines as.

william wallace 1288 struck the first blow for scottish independence.

this is my username for bebo, msn and my e:mail. " william1288"

[BillDFC]

@williamwallacee Correct,apart from the date. This was near the site of the castle of Dundee,which was in the hands of an English occupying force. The English governor was a man called Selby.

Wallace was educated in Dundee and was confronted by some English,one of whom was the son of Selby.

In the fracas that followed,Wallace dispatched the English man,thus striking the first blow in the RESTORATION of his nation's Independence and freedom.

[philzee2000]

Great film! I have seen many old photos of Dundee but seeing the city moving and full of life is brilliant.

[nacho1560]

Brilliant. I'm only a youthful 58 years old but found it a strange experience seeing old scenes I'd forgotten but this video brought back.

Always find it strange how pedestrians then seemed to just continue walking into the path of the trams. I suppose they knew the speeds and that and timed it well. lol!

[indulf]

What a magnificent city!

[Donumdei]

Heard better renderings of "The Beefcan Close"!

The film was magical - have enjoyed identifying all the locations.

Ah, memories!

[craigowler]

[IanMathewson1]

A brilliant historical document. One of the best films of its kind here on YouTube

[JimmyTheKirkie]

Whether in this life or via "crow road" I will return. Nice vid Ian, thanks.

That was very nice, Ian. I loved the music. One of these days I will see Dundee with my own eyes.
