The cannon overlooking Lochee Road was used for time keeping up until the 1930’s. The ‘One o’clock gun’ was used by ships in the harbour and the many citizens who did not own a watch. The cannon was reinstated in 2007 on the original platform overlooking Lochee Road. The old cannons were a great feature in Dudhope Park with children using them to play on.
