Angus memories
Strawberries
My family came from Wellbank and every summer we would go there from Durham to help my Uncle Jim at Buckleshead, to pick stawberries and raspberries ready to go from there in wooden barrels to the jam factory at Dundee. My memories are good ones from these days and I will visit again to have a look round and do a bit of family history. My father also played football for Dundee United. My grandfather I think used to haul jute in Dundee to the mills with horse/cart. Dave
When L First Moved to Wellbank
When I was two I moved out to Wellbank from Sheil Hill near Tealing. When my house was getting built I got my photo taken in the foundations. Mattocks Primary School's extension was just getting built at the time. Wellbank has many wells and so far I have found 3 but I can't tell you where they are because it's secret. That's why it is called Wellbank: Bank of wells. In the winter of 2001 it was really snowy so me and my dad made a snowman while my grandad was trying to dig himself out of his house. However in the winter of 2002 it was so bad there was a three feet high drift of snow so me and my grandad made a wall of snow with people on top. Thanks for reading.
Our Wedding
This photo will always be significant to me as we were married in the castle on 10th of June 2006. It is a lovely setting with beautiful gardens.
Happy Days
The castle is beautifully restored now but when my sister and i were wee it really looked like a haunted ruin. We used to scare ourselves silly running through the middle door to get to the playpark on the other side.
Dudhope Park by The Castle
My name then was Watson. I used to live in Dudhope Crescent Road, which was opposite a small grave yard by Bell St, sadly no longer there. My granny used to take to roll my easter egg down the hill near the swings. In those days the castle did'nt look like this, peacocks were in cages there. You got a lovely view of the DRI and across the Tay to Fife. Those were the days, unfortunately things have to change. The DRI has gone and Dundee is not the same anymore. I still come home every few months to savour the memories.
DRI
I did my SRN at the DRI. Seeing the photo of the Castle brings back happy memories. My husband and I spent many happy hours in the grounds surrounding the Castle. On my last visit to Dundee the housing complex in the grounds of the old DRI were not yet finished but one of the Turrets was still standing. I wonder if it still stands. If anyone out there has a photo of the DRI I would love to see it posted on this site.

Meeting Place
Seeing this brings back memories of many happy meetings. In my day the foot of Reform St was the place where all of Dundee's friends and lovers seemed to meet. Late at night the fish and chip stand on Boots the Chemists corner was also a popular place to meet. Many a happy Saturday was spent walking down the near by Overgate full of all manner of small shops.
