  • Statues in Dundee

    I was recently in Dundee for a day out and quickly snapped these statues; Desperate Dan and his dog (Dawg), Minnie the Minx, Oor Wullie and of course, Rabbie Burns. There are undoubtably many more, but I’ll save those for another visit, when I’ll also visit the coffee shop that shares a name with me (see last photo).
