This road is fairly typical of Broughty Ferry, where in the 19th century the prosperous merchants of Dundee built their mansions, surrounded by leafy gardens and usually stone walls to keep out prying eyes, though Albert Road does now have some more modern housing developments. No prizes for guessing whom the street was named after, of course; Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, consort of Queen Victoria.
