🏛️🚋 DAY 1 - Introduction to Maryfield

Opened in 1901, Maryfield Tram Depot became the operational heart of Dundee’s tram network, serving the city for decades and playing a major role in Dundee’s transport history.

This historic building, now the future home of Dundee Museum of Transport, has witnessed generations of change across the city and remains one of Dundee’s most important surviving transport landmarks.

Today’s photograph shows the depot during its working years, surrounded by some of the vehicles that once kept Dundee moving.

Throughout June, we’ll be sharing photographs, memories and stories celebrating 125 years of Maryfield.

Could not be prouder of our Marketing Manager - well done Andrew!!

🏆🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️ WINNER! Absolutely over the moon to be awarded Dundonian of the Year at this year’s DUSA President’s Awards.

To receive this recognition from the students of the University of Dundee means a tremendous amount and is something I never expected.

This just weeks off the back after being recognised as a finalist in the Scottish Influencer Awards. To receive two accolades in such a short space of time is something I’m still struggling to get my head around.

I’ve always championed Dundee and I’ve spent the last 12 years doing my best to showcase it, celebrate it and champion it through Dundee Culture.

Again, this award isn’t just for me. It belongs to everyone who has supported Dundee Culture over the years, shared a post, read an article, tipped me off about a story, partnered with the platform or simply believed in what we’re trying to achieve.

Thank you to DUSA and the University of Dundee for this incredible honour.
