ROLLING STONES IN BROUGHTY FERRY - 1965

What the hell were The Rolling Stones doing in the Ferry, you may well be wondering??!!
Well it wasn't for a gig, that's for sure.
When the Stones arrived in Dundee in June 1965 to play at the Caird Hall, DC Thomsons organised a photo shoot with the band to get "exclusives" for their teen girl magazines - Romeo and Jackie. So off they all went, resulting in this image of the Stones posing at a rock garden in Broughty Ferry. It was actually in the grounds of the now demolished, Taypark Hotel.
Glitzy or what?!
It's only rock (garden) 'n' roll...

  2. My stepfather (T.D. Duncan Jr) owned the Taypark and I lived there from about 1971 until 1979 ...Harry Lawson (Lorries) bought from him and sold it for the flats... never heard anything about The Stones though.. I know exactly where that photo was taken... and the view from there across the Tay.. unbelievable
