Bus to Forfar leaving Dundee bus station
The bus station was little changed in 2011 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2489174 although the platform had been improved with an enclosed area for passengers. The building on the right has been demolished but most of the others can still be seen.
The bus is the coach-seated version of the classic Alexander Y-type body on an Albion Viking chassis, new to Alexander Northern in 1967. Alexander Northern was the company within the nationalised Scottish Bus Group which covered the eastern side of Scotland from Dundee through Aberdeen and up to Peterhead and Elgin.
This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761

Dundee Bus Station
The main bus station is on the corner of Trades Lane and Seagate, not quite in the very centre of the city, and (I speak from experience) a fair hike from the railway station if you are encumbered with luggage.

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.

Plaque along Seagate
The commemorative plaque is on a red tiled building along Seagate. Shame there is some deterioration on the wall.
