This photograph was taken c.1901 and shows Seafield House in Broughty Ferry. The House, now the site of Grove Academy, was a preparatory school. This photograph is taken from an album kept by one of the staff R L Morris. I am not sure if that is him in the photograph. #Dundee

Street of the Week: Couttie’s Wynd This lane was originally known as Abbot’s Wynd and is mentioned in records dating back to 1229. The Abbot in question was the Abbot of Lindores who seems to have owned land here. In the 15th century it changed names to Spalding Wynd.
