You should get yourself to Greenock to look at Cappielow Park the home of Greenock Morton, historical shipbuilding town with a lovely little stadium
Inverness and Ross county up in the highlands beautiful place and veiws up here
Definitely, I did Elgin recently but ICT and Ross County should be soon!
On the list!
Probably a pipe dream, but if you ever went to Inverness and wanted to visit one of the most remote areas in Scotland a trip over the sea to the Western Isles would be very interesting.
No big clubs, just a variety of smaller clubs who I’m sure would be grateful to have you and have equally as much history as some large clubs with connections to many of the large clubs around Scotland.
On the island of Eriskay stands one of the most unique pitches in the world: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-32824967 which FIFA designated as one of the eight strangest football pitches in the world.
As well as this, in Stornoway there is the largest Rangers supporters club in the world which has a lot of club memorabilia and many former players visit.
We would be grateful to have you and no one would turn you away!
Used to walk up that street every week to buy ma hash 👍
I can get you a good deal
What is hash you don't smoke it
Better than going to watch either of those teams.
😂😂
I don't think u mean hashbrowns
Dundee is a hugely underrated city by many people in the UK.
But it's nice that someone such as yourself is giving the city this exposure.
The Square sausage is often known as a "Lorne sausage". Unlucky for you that day that they were sold out.
I’m a Chinese lived in Dundee for 10 years. It’s an amazing city. Dundee is my second hometown now
Nice! Hope you enjoyed the video!
We'll stay there and don't come to A, Deen
@@stephenmcphail4291 no one wants to go to Aberdeen ffs 😂
It's a lot better ,bigger,and more than Scumdee

Scotland is the only country to have had two teams from two cities compete in the European Cup semi final....Celtic & Rangers from Glasgow and Dundee United & Dundee from Dundee
Good stat!
What year did rangers get to a European cup semi?
@@diggers7169 Twice, 1960, and 1993. Celtic 1967,1970,1972,1974. Dundee 1963, Dundee Utd 1984, and for good measure Hibs made it to the semis in 1956. Sad to say, but with football being all about money nowadays, it will be a long time before a Scottish team makes it that far again.
True, but England has had the 2 Manchester teams, and 3 from London, Arsenal, Spurs, and Chelsea.
Fenderkev there was no semi final in 1993. It went from group stages straight to the final
The statues are those of Desperate Dan, his dog Dawg and Minnie the Minx, characters from The Dandy comic published by D.C. Thomson in Dundee.
I am from Birmingham and here most English people have a favourite Scottish team. It's always either Rangers or Celtic but I've always followed Dundee United. Dundee has produced the best Scottish football team and also the best Scottish Rock Band too, The View !
Best Scottish rock band ~ AC/DC Angus & Malcolm Young Rangers fans from Glasgow. Bon Scott born 15 miles from Dundee 👍
@@robertfernie1500 Just opinions bro,
The view; I will give them a listen
Dundee is a place like no other. The 360 degree view from the Law Hill is incredible. You have incredible views for miles all around. Then you have the Waterfront which looks amazing especially with the 2 bridges and the views over to Fife. You are then only 10 minutes on the bus to gorgeous little Broughty Ferry and the beach! There is still a lot more that could be done but most of the schemes have all been replenished with new housing so they all look so much better. You are never far from anything in Dundee and you will find some really nice parks dotted around the city. Also, have a walk up the Perth Road and just look at those views across the Tay. For all the bad press Dundee gets, you will be shocked by just how much it has to offer. The nightlife in Dundee used to be amazing but like most places it has died a death. Really enjoyed the video. Glad you seem to have enjoyed the delights Dundee has to offer. Cheers 👍
Thanks so much for the info! Sounds like there's a lot more of Dundee I need to see. More reason to go back I suppose :)
@@FootyAdventures there's also loads of Junior Clubs to check out in Dundee such a s Violet, Lochee United, Lochee Harp, North End, Downfield, Broughty Athletic, etc
Loved this film. As a Dundonian now living in the Netherlands was great to see. ...... I even saw my old flat 😅😅😅 great memories of football in Dundee. United beating Barcelona & Roma and Dundee beating AC Milan
I’ve had a great pleasure in working for both of these clubs one as coach for mental health football team ran by United and as a bar supervisor for Dundee FC, the inside of both of these stadiums are amazing Dundee I feel has a more historic feel to it, has lots of dark wood in there lounges my favourite was to work in the lounge where all the executive people used to go until I drop a whole tray of pints and was put to work in the lounge full of all the fans, i was only 16 and never new that pints where heavy,
Both these clubs hold a very special place in my heart from going to watch Dundee as a kid, with my grandad and going to work along side untied and Dundee, they are very community spirited, making sure there players engage in local projects and business, if you want a interesting subject look for the mental health teams in Scotland some of the teams are amazing especially the ones backed from big clubs.
Thanks for that. I live in Canada now but was born and bred in Dundee. My uncle Alec Hamilton played for that successful 60's D. F. C. team and the Scottish national team also and I was at the game in '87 when Kevin Gallagher scored a cracker for Dundee United against Barcelona!Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Nice! No worries, glad to hear you enjoyed it!
my pal led me to this comment & i was surprised to see it as i still live in Dundee with my family. Alec Hamilton is my grandad, my mum, aunties & uncle are his kids, what’s your name mate?
Honestly loved that im from scotland so im loving these types of videos keep up good work!
Thank you! Will do!
@@FootyAdventures also, come to Aberdeen!
You’re a Celtic fan,
So you’re from Ireland you halfwit
I'm from Iceland but would love to visit Scotland one day 🇮🇸❤️🏴
Please do consider it. Plenty to see and do over here. I would also love to visit Iceland; I have only ever heard good reviews.
Well, it’s about as warm as Iceland !!
When I was a wee girl in the 60s ,my Dad would take us kids to watch football. He supported both teams Dundee .and Dundee United which meant we watched a game each week . My hubby of 47 years is a die hard dark blue , x
Oh cool! I hope it brought back some good memories!
Love the videos mate. Glad you have such an appreciation for Scottish football
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
I live just up the road from both stadiums. Its a pain getting parked when its match day but its great hearing the chants
Brilliant insight to Dundee and our city's two teams. Obviously, United are the powerhouse, but the Dees do pretty well too. That's me now subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much!
DAB
Utd a powerhouse 😂😂😂
Love your travels, glad the channel is doing well.
Even though I've been 99% of these places I still enjoy the vids!
Glad to hear it! Check out some of my older videos from Asia and around Europe!
Great post mate. Grew up in Dundee but now live in Australia. Used to attend Clepington Primary which was at the far end of Sandeman St which is the street the George Fox stand is on at Tannadice. I've supported Utd since I was first introduced to football as a wee lad. Many great memories of going to games there, and a few at Dens too, most famously when Utd won the league in 1983. Love your vids, thanks for posting. Cheers.
Thanks for watching mate and glad you're liking the vids. I also lived in Oz for a while.... miss my morning sunrise view over bondi so much 😩 thanks again, more vids coming soon!
great videos as always! love it when you did some good research on some history and facts. kudos to you!
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks again mate!
Great videos bro. Love scottish football and their history. Following some of the clubs myself. Partick Thistle, Heart of M., Inverness etc. Would be great to meet someday, watch a game and have a couple of beers once all has reopen again. Cheers from Germany
Much appreciated! Cheers I hope I can get over to Germany soon!
I've just started a Football manager playthrough with Dundee United and went onto TH-cam to find some suitable videos to get me into the Dundee United mindset whilst i am playing and discovered your channel. Excellent video, have subscribed and look forward to exploring the rest of the videos on your channel
Born and raised in Canada, but have fam in Dundee. Been there 4 times. Absolutely love it there. Great city. Love wearing tangerine on a Saturday. 😉
Awesome video and interesting facts about Barca, madness! Can't believe how close these two grounds are to each other 🤯
Cheers mate! Glad you enjoyed!
Zeint fc Russia vlog
Bob Shankly also managed Stirling Albion in the 1970s. Their ground was called Annfield Park and they played in an all red strip. Quite a coincidence as his brother Bill managed Liverpool at the same time
Yeah, such a strange coincidence!
Loved my visit to Dundee in July 2018
I’m a groundhopper and I went on a Scotland groundhopping tour and Dundee Fc was my favourite ground I visited on that trip. Would love to go back for United
Love a bit of groung hopping! Cant wait til I can get inside these stadiums!
This is the wholesome content I’ve been looking for
Cheers! More coming soon!
Excellent video about my fine city - it's great to hear someone say many good things about the place.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice wee video, Dundee’s very much up and coming. I’m a United fan but we go to the same pubs as Dundee fans before and after a derby match. The Caird Hall you were at is a concert hall, it’s small time these days but over the years Queen, the Beatles, Rolling Stones and Sinatra have played there (to name but a few). Dundee has a decent music history too.
Ah cool cheers for the facts! Glad you liked the video gavin!
Great videos mate great to hear more about clubs in my country, shame security is so tight for an honest bloke just looking to share the clubs history
Thanks mate!!
Great Video! I really enjoyed the facts and the views (of course). Honestly, i dont know how some people aren't subbed with the bell
I first came to Scotland from south of the border at the very end of August 1991 for a few days. After driving as far as Inverness I came down to Dundee and went to see United play Aberdeen at Tannadice. It was a very unusual experience having stood between both grounds. The game was a goalless draw spoilt by some poor refereeing decisions. I stood on the old terracing before the current stand was built and I never forget the view of the stand at the far corner. It was one of the most unusual stands I've seen. The match was played on the same day as Celtic v Rangers and Hearts v Hibs. Looking back, had Queen's Park played at home, I could have gone to Hampden Park instead having already been to the old Wembley. I don't remember much of the town center back then but it does look pretty on your video.
Sounds great! Makes me want to see a match there soon! Thanks very much for watching 🙂
I know the stand you're talking about I remember watching on TV and thinking what the fuck
Good watch mate. You should do some of the more obscure places in Scotland, like the Highland league. I stayed in Buckie for a few years and went to a Buckie thistle v devronvale match to see what it was like, and it was an apparent rivalry and very heated. Great history and lovely scenery up north, much like Elgin.
Cracking vid mate thoroughly enjoyed it and amazing how close these 2 grounds are, I'm a baggies fan and i dread to think what it would be like if The Hawthorns and Molineux were that close together lol .
Haha yeah just imagine! Thanks for watching mate
Love you content and your vibe is so calm best football you tuber and come on the reds!
Great video mate! Keep up the great work. 👍
Thank you! 👍
Loved the video and was really entertaining. I am on the tangerine side (we dont do orange) but you certainly done a great job show casing the City.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed :)
Hi! I m Italian and I love the scottish Football! GREAT job guy 🥰👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻......now I follow you🥳
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for subscribing!
Ciao!
@@davidmorris950 ciao David🇬🇧🏴🏴🇮🇹
I asked a local where the grounds were & he asked which one did I want ! I managed to get into Dens & sit in that beautiful old stand. It's so hilly around there I'm amazed they found two level playing fields.
Although Tannadice isn't that level!
Not just Scottish, at least 2 Mexicans have watched this video mate. Great content. Cheers. Just subscribed.
Very addictive channel, just the 2nd vlog I’ve watched after your search for the Boleyn ground came up on my recommended. I’ve subbed now too. Would be great to see you do a vlog on my club Birmingham with our rivalry against Aston Villa. 2nd city derby is a fierce one!
Great video once again keep up the good work
Thanks again!
Great vid... nice to see you do a bit about the city too...
Cheers again mate!
Subscribed. Great video. Came across your channel recently keep it up 👍🏻
Nice one! Appreciate the support. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed your visit to our city, welcome back anytime! :-)
Thanks! I hope to be back soon!
I’ve lived in Dundee all my life now and I think that you should just have a nice stroll through the city. There is a bus called the 22 which takes you to somewhere called Craigowl View and if you walk down the road towards Bridgefoot you get amazing views of the city and countryside
Cool! I really need to come back. There seems to be lots more to explore
Enjoyed the video and greetings from Perth Western Australia.
Hey, thanks! Happy you enjoyed mate!
Great video man. The statue is desperate dan from the Dandy comic. The beano is also from Dundee. We all know Dennis the menace. Also grand theft auto 1 was made there.
Oh nice, good to know!
The "cartoon" statue you saw was of Desperate Dan, an iconic character from the Dandy comic. Both "The Dandy" and "The Beano" were published by DC Thomson, based in Dundee.
Cool thanks for the info!
And created in that marvellous building you were admiring opposite the McManus Galleries. Not the school, next to that, but the school did inspire the creation of the Bash Street Kids.
@@BeanoMark Its often said that Dundee High school playground inspired the Bash Street Kids but I have my doubts. Leo Baxendale, the cartoonist who created the strip, lived in Preston and posted the rough idea to the Beano editor in Dundee. He continued to work from home so I dont see how the playground was the inspiration for the strip.
@@frankboyle2643 The Art Department's windows overlooked the Dundee High School and playground. Even if he lived in Preston, he would've visited quite regularly.
@@BeanoMark I worked in the DC Thomson art department in the seventies. The windows were high up and sloping. You could only see out by standing on a pipe that ran along the wall and straining to see over the window ledge. So I still doubt the story about the Bash Street Kids
Cool blog ,Dundee United through my bones but family so split,well done great video , I live in the canaries now and absolutely love seeing footage of home gracias amigo
Another interesting blog well presented. Well done !!
Thanks David!
I’m from down in the Scottish Borders but I’m a huge Dundee United fan. First video I’ve seen from the channel and I enjoyed it. You forgot to mention the fact that wee beat the dees 6-2 twice in the past few years😂. Cmon United!!!🟠⚫️🟠⚫️
Great video and good knowledge too. Subscribed. 👍🏼
Thanks so much!!!
first time ive seen your channel and will follow , nice vid .
I never knew those things about the two Dundee clubs !!
Tannadice looks a lovely stadium, a very classy ground full of footballing history.
As a neutral though I prefer Dundee FC - their club colours and the fact that they were formed first seals it - sorry DUFC fans.
Another top video - really good travel guide for a city now on my list to visit, and a good intro to both clubs.
Tannadice is a proper dump us aberdeen fans take more to games there than home fans turn up same at dens park
@@adamg94
Fair comment but for a neutral fan / tourist it would be a good trip to see the city and both clubs while touring Scotland.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed!
If tanidice is a dump pittodrie is a dirty smelly swamp 😂😂 all Scottish football stadiums are dumps.
@Rule Brittania your club died in 2012
That's mad about Barca! Great video.
Thanks!
Love this channel!!!
That was really interesting video. I live in Sussex but have always wanted to go to a Dundee Derby. The Utility Firm is interesting
Nice! Glad you enjoyed 🙌👍
Excellent vlog mate!👏
Legend, cheers mate!
Born in Dundee and lived opposite Dundee’s stand on the top floor and all you can see is the roof. Became a United supporter as a boy because Dundee were so snobbish they would not let me view the players at practice whereas United in the second league at that time in their rickety wooden stand had no problems letting me in to view the players.
I remember the strips used during their games starting with the two narrow hoops at chest height, then they went to all white with black trim, there was an all black strip that they used once that was apparently a mistake by the supplier, plus a checkered black and white large squares that was never seen again. Bummer for me when I bought the scarf with the two white strips and they changed to tangerine.
Fond memories of Dundee, now retired in the Philippines.
Great Video, I am a Dundee supporter along with my father and brother however you are right just like Everton and Liverpool our family is split down the middle as the rest of my family support United (their colour is actually Tangerine). On the European stories Dundee played AC Milan and Dundee United played Roma. It turns out both Italian clubs admitted bribing the referees in their wins, nothing like a bit of Italian corruption. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the comment John! Yeah I've heard about the Italian ref bribing before. Happened to Leeds in the past too I'm sure?
I was actually at the Barcelona game that United won, was quite amazing seeing United turn over them over, our School got a day off when they won in Barcelona, I think half the teachers were hung over.
Gene pool of frog spawn BNB
I am from Cupar in Fife, but live in Philadelphia. Cupar is 10 miles from St Andrews and 10 miles from Dundee, but I have only ever taken people to St Andrews. This inspired me to definitely go to Dundee next time. My first game was United vs Rangers Dec 1978, we lost 3-0:) I went to Dens and Tannadice so many times before I was "allowed" to goto Ibrox. Remember the grounds, but not the city - great video Sam.
Love this mate
Thanks mate!
The tay rail bridge has an interesting history also. It fell and was rebuilt. The caird Hall is used is for concerts, comedy and exhibitions.
Nice thanks for letting me know!
@@FootyAdventures Yes, the bridge was blown down in a storm in 1879
Love these vids
Thanks mate!!
Magic Sam doing a good job keep it up, promoting Scotland culture and football..
Woah close 🤗 New sub
Great Video Mate!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another great video.
Great wee video mate. I'm part of the dark blues in this Derby 😉
Thanks! Hopefully I can watch the derby soon!
@@FootyAdventures it certainly is very exciting. I've attended around 10 derby's, not alot as I live abroad most of the time, and they were always great! No so much when we loose! Lol
A nice appreciation of my team and toon. Thanks
That description of a square sausage was priceless mate 👌🤣😭🤣
Trashing old Roy
I was fortunate to attend most of the big European games in the 80s. A particular highlight was beating BMG 5-0. I've also been at all their cup winning games and the league win game in '83.
loving your videos 👍
Thank you!
There is a plaque at the back of the big concert venue in Dundee - (Caird Hall) - showing the exact location where Dundee United FC were formed. There once stood a hotel on the site back in the day.
I’m from Dundee and I’m a United fan and I think the Video was great MON THE SHED 🧡🖤🧡🖤
Thanks archie! Apprecaite that, cheers mate 😊
A lot of great info mate cheers
Glad you enjoyed it
Danny dyer did something very similar in his own professional way. Nah jokes this was a great video thanks for making
Haha I'd love to do a collab with him one day! Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed!
Please don’t, your cred will plummet lol
I'm Dundonian! The statue is 'Desperate Dan' who appeared in the comics 'The Beano & The Dandy' alongside characters such as Dennis The Mennace, Bash Street Kids etc... Another character from the comic "Minnie the minx" stands just behind him.
Nice thanks for letting me know!! Hope you enjoyed the video 😊
Home of Grand theft Auto, also Discovery is a Ship and United play in Tangerine ;) Great vid tho 👍
Haha I know, i made the biggest mistake ever when i said orange 🙈 thanks though! Glad you enjoyed!
@@FootyAdventures no worries mate :)
Next Derby: Berlin Derby!!! Union vs. Hertha! I am living currently in Dundee for my Masters degree and I loved to see your video. You should do the same in my hometown. :)
Sounds amazing! Berlin one day for sure. Good luck with the Masters mate :)
@@FootyAdventures if you need support for your visit in Berlin, shout out to me! keep on going with your videos.
@@timschneider1092 will do!!!
Hello enjoying the video that is Desperate Dan also my cousins partner is from Dundee
Thanks mate!
Nice video mate 👍
Thanks Grant!!
Brilliant!
Thanks mate!
wow, I had no idea it was that close !!
Loved the description on square sausage 😂
The best!!
The cartoon character who's statue you came across is Desperate Dan, an iconic character from the children's comic The Dandy.
Both The Dandy and The Beano were made by DC Comics in Dundee.
The Caird Hall is an impressive venue for staging many shows, gigs and concerts etc.
Dundee was a very affluent city at one point.
Famous for making a material called Jute.
Also famous for Timex watches.
Beautiful town!!
Thanks mate!
Sam you deserve more subscribers
Really like this man .very interesting ..
Thanks Michael!
United got to the European Cup semis also, in 83/84 v Roma and were a bribed referee away from meeting Liverpool in the final. Like you said about Dundee, what may have been is pretty cool to think about
Hi,im a new subb,and really enjoy your stuff.
Please Please come to Clydebank and do a wee film of Kilbowie Park.
Now a shopping Park but the local history is something that i think
people will enjoy.
cheers.
Hi mate, that's on my list for sure! Thanks for watching and subbing. Much appreciated.
One proud dundonian here 💙
Nice mate! Glad you enjoyed!
I lived across the rd from Dundee FC And it's not orange technically it's Tangerine! Love Dundee doesn't get enough good reviews/press
So Thanks for the visit 👌🖤Tx
What a video 🔥
Cheers!!
You will be surprised at some of the record attendances at the grounds you have visited inScotland . Great vids 👍
Thanks John! Some of the attendances in Scotland are mad! Most attended European Cup final was at Hampden of course
You can’t get 53,000 into Tynecastle these days. Same for a lot of clubs since seating was installed
@@FootyAdventures aye Dens Park being the larger of the 2 grounds the Dees biggest crowd was 43,000 v Rangers in 1950s i think
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
In my youth I was an avid comic reader. That statue looked to be Desperate Dan from the Dandy comic. I seem to remember it saying on it that it was printed in Dundee.
Buzzing to be the first to watch this!
Legend!
Love that I’m from this city
Thanks!
