Strawberries

My family came from Wellbank and every summer we would go there from Durham to help my Uncle Jim at Buckleshead, to pick stawberries and raspberries ready to go from there in wooden barrels to the jam factory at Dundee. My memories are good ones from these days and I will visit again to have a look round and do a bit of family history. My father also played football for Dundee United. My grandfather I think used to haul jute in Dundee to the mills with horse/cart. Dave

Family Memories

My grandparents lived in Kinneff for many years. 6 Martin Terrace to be exact. They are now resting in The Old Kinneff Parish Churchyard.
I lived with them for a short time and attended Kinneff School. I have fond memories of my time there. My most vivid memory is lying in bed at night and listening to Todhead Light foghorn. I now live in the US and hopefully soon will be able to bring my children so they can have some fond memories as well.

Good Old Days

Meeting my pals under the clock and walking around on Sundays, going dancing at Robbies once a week. My Mum and Dad also would meet under the clock.  Dancing at the City Square on VE day. I was living with my Grandmother on Princess Street, where I was born, I was sent back to Dundee in 1944 because of the VE bombs.  My first job was in Willie Lows Grocers.  There was nothing like seeing the New Year in with the bagpipes in the City Square.  Oh, so many happy memories.

Meeting Place

Seeing this brings back memories of many happy meetings. In my day the foot of Reform St was the place where all of Dundee's friends and lovers seemed to meet. Late at night the fish and chip stand on Boots the Chemists corner was also a popular place to meet. Many a happy Saturday was spent walking down the near by Overgate full of all manner of small shops.
