Grove Academy
The main architectural feature of the new buildings is a semicircular tower which in some ways echoes the towers of Claypotts Castle, just up the road. It is a refreshing change from the rectangular grey-white concrete block style of school building which provided so many blots on the urban landscape in the 1960s and 1970s.

Grove Academy
The main entrance to the new building on Claypotts road is startling, certainly not dull. This was well outside school hours, and the place was busy with comings and goings of adults, presumably using the school sports facilities.

Overlooking central Broughty Ferry
This view over the rooftops of central Broughty Ferry extends to the Firth of Tay and the wooded area of Tentsmuir Point on the Fife side of the estuary. The church spire which breaks the line of the rooftops is East Church, in NO4630

Former gatehouse
This wonderfully ornate gatehouse in Camphill Road, Broughty Ferry, was once the entrance to Carbet Castle which was demolished in 1984. It used to be owned by the Grimond family, owners of the Bowbridge jute works in Dundee.

15 Camphill Road
A typical Victorian stone villa, built no doubt by a prosperous Dundee merchant, and now divided into apartments. It must have an excellent view over the Tay Estuary.

Elmbank House
This is taken from almost the same spot as Image], and provides a complete contrast. These two houses are on the Victorian 25 inch to the mile map, when there were no streets at all west of Claypotts Road. They are now surrounded on the east by the buildings of Grove Academy.

Victoriana
An elaborate lodge and a pair of ornate gate piers in Camphill Road are evidence of a wealthy businessman indulging in some conspicuous consumption in the late 19th century. This is the mark of Dundee's trading heyday which, like its counterparts in other cities, has left a legacy of interesting, if not always especially beautiful, buildings.
