Pile of Flats!
The remains of one of the newly demolished Alexander St flats. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-14360053 Was there about 6 hours after the demolition and we were still noticeably breathing in the dust in the air. Amazing that such a large building makes such a small pile! See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1626038 and http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1455654 to see what they looked like before

Dens Road Market Dundee
Dens Road Market opened in 1969, there were more than 80 stalls and shops in the market, where you could buy almost anything. It boasted of being Dundee's Petticoat Lane. I spent a great deal of time at the market rummaging through the stalls looking for an priceless antique but if you weren't careful you were more than likely to come out with fleas.

Former Eagle Mills, Dens Road
"At the close of 1867 there were in Scotland sixteen firms engaged in the manufacture of flax, hemp and jute, who employed 1000 persons or upwards, the aggregate number of operatives being 31,162, or on average of about 1948. (...) The works of eight of the firms are in Dundee, two in Glasgow, two in Greenock, and one each in Aberdeen, Johnstone, Markinch, and Arbroath." -- David Bremner, The Industries Of Scotland, 1869
