ST. ANDREW'S TAVERN - HILLTOWN - 60'S

Fancy a pub crawl?
This one's gonna go on for over a week, so should be a topper!
I'll just set the time machine for the 1960's - (whirr...spin...dizziness...nausea... spew into bucket kept handy for such trips....) - ah here we are, landed in Hilltown.
Starting off at St Andrew's Tavern in Rose Street.
This was said to be Dundee's smallest pub. Locals gave it the nickname of "the Mad Doag" after the manager was bitten by a mangy mutt!
The pub closed around the mid/late 60's and Rose Street itself has since completely disappeared.
I have a street map of Dundee from the 60's so thought I'd display the section where Rose Street used to be. As you can see it was slap bang in the middle of the Hulltoon and the Conshie.
