Live from the scene.

I’m standing just off the High Street where a significant Police Scotland operation is currently underway.

Details remain scarce at the moment, but officers have sealed off the area from Whitehall Street junction to the overgait.
Stay safe, everyone.

🚨 BIG NEWS: Our Future Just Got a Green Light! 🚨

We are thrilled to share that the Dundee Museum of Transport has officially secured a massive £2.7 million funding boost! 🏁✨

This investment—confirmed just days ago—is the final piece of the puzzle needed to begin the restoration of the historic Maryfield Tram Depot. This means work can now start on transforming the 1901 and 1913 sections of the depot into our world-class, permanent new home.

While we target our grand opening at Maryfield for 2027, this funding ensures that the wait is almost over. We are so grateful for the support of the Community Regeneration Partnership and the Scottish Government in making this "V&A moment" for Stobswell a reality.
