In the 70s the ss UGANDA was a regular, if not frequent, visitor to the River Tay.  Originally operated with the ss KENYA between London and East Africa via Suez, she had been converted to accommodate school pupils in RN-like messdecks.  But the fare-paying passengers had roomy cabins and access to the original lounges and first class dining room.  Several school cruises originated and/or terminated at Dundee.  PHOTO Malcolm McCrow
Mercury and Mayo composite - the epic record-breaking 1930s flight to South Africa originated at Dundee.  The flying boat was used to launch the sea-plane in the air in order to conserve the seaplane's fuel.                                                                                                                   PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow
