Had occasion to be there back in 2010 when my son went to work there for a while, here are some of the buildings I say there
Real Time World was a gaming company were my son went to work, unfortunately it went bust months later leaving my son out of a job
Above the Dundee Sheriff Court and Justice of the Peace Court
Not sure the names of this building but it look impressive though it could have been the old Post office
The entrance to the Thompson building
Above if you wonder what the Thompson building is it where the Dandy and Beano Comics were produced, you can see Dennis the Menace looking out of the window
Left the McManus Galleries
The Thompson Building again
and last a view across to the Thompson Building from the steps of the McManus Galleries
I'll bring more photos of Dundee Next week
Yes I remember the beano comics well, my nana use to buy them for me when I was growing up
ReplyDeleteInteresting...I almost went through Dundee. When my family visited Scotland (quite a few years ago now) my brothers agreed to take me from Edinburgh up to Aberdeen, because our grandmother was born in that area, but we didn't get past St. Andrews. The men wanted to see the golf course, and we stayed and stayed and stayed there until it was too late to go farther north, so we went back to Edinburgh, and I was very disappointed. And now I see we missed Dundee as well. Thanks for the tour.
