DUNDEE CHARITY ALBUM - 1978

To coincide with Rag Week 1978, the University brought out this LP to help the fund raising campaign.
"Dundee Folk" is an album of various artists from the folk scene, including - Aileen Carr - Fair Game - Chris Davies and a few others. It was recorded in Dundee and is on the Better Bacon Records label.
The sound sample I have chosen is by a band called Dingly Dell, who hail from just across the bridge, and it's a traditional folk song about the Dundee whaling ship "Balaena".

THE ORIGINAL TAY BRIDGE WALKWAY

The top photo was taken from the observation platform on Tay Road Bridge in the late 60's and shows the view along the original central pedestrian walkway.

In the picture below it, you can see that it was based on a chequerboard design.

This feature was devised by the bridge's designer, William Fairhurst, who just so happened to be an International Chess Master as well!

The pattern depicts a knight's move repeated in 5 different colours of stone.
