Walking around Dundee, Nethergate, High Street and Murraygate
A walk along the High Street and Murraygate in Dundee City Centre, passing by landmarks including the Steeple Church, the Caird Hall and the Desperate Dan Statue.
Starting at the junction between Nethergate and West Marketgait at the corner the Overgate Shoping Centre, we head east passing the Steeple Church and St Mary’s Church where the street continues as High Street.
From there we walk around the City Square and take a look at the architecturally beautiful Caird Hall. From here we head back on to the High Street passing the Desperate Dan Statue (along with his companions Dawg and Minnie the Minx). We continue along High Street bearing left on to Murraygate, passing my many familiar high street stores. This video ends at the junction between Murraygate and Panmure Street at the entrance to the Wellgate Centre

Old Dundee reel pt 2 - Demolition of Overgate (street) and Tay rd bridge opening
Found this old 8mm reel in Tayside Reusers - this includes shots of the old Overgate shopping centre, the demolition of Dundee West (note the guys taking it apart by hand at the top of the tower!), demolition of the old Overgate street, Tay bridge opening, a parade in the yet-to-be pedestrianised High St. (same day as the bridge opening?) and a ferry to Newport and back again with some great views.
If anyone knows who the dapper chap in pt 1 is, let me know! I have loads of their old family footage - weddings, holidays etc.. Would be great to get it back to them.
Daniel Docherty Singing In City Centre Dundee Tayside Scotland
Tour Scotland video of Daniel Docherty singing a cover version of Let Her Go by Passenger outside the Overgate shopping centre in the City Centre on visit to Dundee, Tayside.
Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go
Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast
You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies
But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast
Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much
And you dived too deep
Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go (oh, oh, ooh, oh no)
And you let her go (oh, oh, ooh, oh no)
Will you let her go?
'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go

Ghost of ~Coffin Mill, Polepark Road & Brook Street, Dundee, Scotland
Haunting History of :
Coffin Mill, Polepark Road & Brook Street, Dundee, Scotland
Weaving was big business in Dundee as far back as the 16th century. After the Union with England in 1707 ended military hostilities, Dundee recovered from the devastation of the Siege of Dundee by General Monck in 1651 and established itself as an industrial and trading centre.
Coffin Mill named because of its shape.
A connecting bridge which spans two sections of the former mill is reputedly haunted by the ghost of a girl who crosses it every night. One story says that she was thrown off the bridge after she informed her manager that she was pregnant.
Coffin Mill, Brook Street:On September 5 1945, a newspaper printed a startling story with the headline: “Ghost walks bridge Dundee throng visits scene The White Lady of Coffin Mill.”
A large crowd gathered at the mill after a lady dressed in white was apparently spotted walking across the metal bridge that connected two of the buildings over the courtyard.
Geoff said: “So many people turned up that the police were called. They called for the crowd to disperse, but they got very unhappy about this and some young people began throwing stones at the windows and, for some reason, broke milk bottles at the entrance to the mill.
“To satisfy the public that everything was normal, a police officer and the works’ watchmen went round the building shining a torch in every window they passed.
“According to witness reports, the ghost was supposedly a young female mill worker who got her hair stuck in machinery and was crushed to death.”
Another version implies that that ghost actually haunts the Verdant Works mill that is 500 yards away, as Geoff Holder points out in his book haunted Dundee there are a number of similarities between the two mills, and they both have a metal bridge, and a girl was reported to have died there in similar circumstances with her hair becoming trapped in machinery. It seems other entities are reported within the Verdant Works also, with spectral voices being heard and a reflected apparition. The Verdant Works lies just to the west of Dundee city centre. It was once home to three steam engines running 70 power looms and 2,800 spindles. And 500 people were once employed preparing and spinning jute here and weaving it in another factory across the road.
Today the Verdant Works serves as a remarkable museum remembering, celebrating and explaining Dundee's jute industry.
Coffin Mill is now home to private flats.

DUNDEE JUTE STOWERS 1968
These photographs of Dundee Jute Stowers @ work in 1968 have never been seen in public until this very date 25-05-2011. They were captured by Lochee man, Chic Mitchell (who was himself a Stower) to preserve the memories of these men and the un-seen work they did for the Jute Industry in Dundee. He kindly handed them into me for my website which was a fantastic gesture! It's an honour to now show them to my fellow Dundonians and to anyone connected with the Jute Industry from around the world. They will never be forgotten that's for sure. Check out my Dundee website for more footage.
