Tower on the top
There are many of these type structures on the buildings round Dundee, as this one is on an old insurance building I can only assume that they were for watching for ships coming into harbour that were insured by the company.

The foot of the Hilltown
Just to the north of Dundee's city centre, redevelopment in the 1960's saw the demolition of tenements and their replacement with these icons of 1960's architecture.

Former Whisky Bond, Trades Lane
The building is far more interesting if you wander further down the street and look straight up. For whatever reason this picture doesn't show it at all well, but as you look further up the building, the storeys get shorter and shorter. It was most probably designed like this but when you look up seeing increasingly shorter floors you can't help but wonder if day-to-day finances were impinging on the original design!
The building belonged to James Watson Whisky Blenders, and was built after what is said to be Dundee's worst ever fire, which originated in and destroyed the company's original building at this site. The blending stopped in 1981 and the last bottles left in 1987. Eyewitness reports state that there were rivers of whisky, blue and on fire, running down all the streets in this Seagate area, in 1906. The company must have had some cash reserves though, as the new, now listed, building was up and operational by the following year.

Former Bonded Warehouse and site of major fire
The fire took place on 19th July 1906 in the six-storey bonded store of James Watson & Co, which contained nearly a million gallons of spirits, principally whisky and rum. It raged for two days and caused "rivers of burning whisky" to flow down Dundee streets. The final adjusted loss was £203,036.
The rebuilt warehouse has been converted into residential accommodation.
