Before we leave Dundee, I want you to see a little of the housing and neighborhoods we see here. The homes differ widely depending on the area of the city. This is up the street from us about a block. We live in the west end which traditionally has been the wealthier part of town.

On the street where we live, last spring, this house had a beautiful rock garden all in bloom. This house is typical of the lovely homes in our neighborhood.

This is one of the large mansion houses along Perth Road, just below us. The street is lined with many such houses built around 1900 and owned by the Jute barons. I thought you would enjoy seeing some of the kinds of houses we see every day here and the variance between the rich and the poor. Mind you, this is the city. the homes in the countryside are quite different and are very charming.

This is an apartmnt of flats. It is new construction. The individual flats, complete with their own garage (a rarity in Scotland) sells for a quarter of a million dollars. Whew!

This is called a "multi" and houses families and individuals who are supported by the government. It is a type of Council housing. The local council is like the provisional government.

A typical block of tenement Council housing. They are small flats. The buildings were hastily thrown up in the 1960s to clear the slums out. There are much older ones, built similarly and still in use. Dundee is full of them as a result of the Jute mills which employed thousands in the 1800s and early 1900s. They were all poor as was their housing.
