5:08 and 5:50 I miss the two skyways that used to take you to the train station or the leisure centre, the river front doesn't feel the same without them.
Chings I grew up in Dundee in the 60s, left in the late 70s. Im currently reading "The Cresent" a story set in 1890s Dundee and its more recognisable than the Dundee in your video LOL
Wow back then those cars looked normal before i could drive, now all those cars are classics that everyone looks at when drive by, its crazy how things change in just two decades, roads look alot safer too,no distracted drivers texting or on phones lol😁👍🏴
Man that radio was as eclectic as my Spotify list. I'm assuming that musta been Tay AM? Genuinely had no idea that they played newer songs pulp/oasis, also don't go away was never released here so they were playing album tracks. Kate Bush to kick it off and tears for fears to end, I feel like I missed out 🤣
@9:29 there is a Toys R Us ad for the Sega Megadrive for £129.94. There is no way they were selling that in 1999. I searched, and found the TV spot with the exact same audio "Toys R Us UK TV Advert 1992 (TSW Region) Featuring Sega Mega Drive", and it's from 1992. Which makes more sense listing ot the music, how it's more late 80's. So yeah, 1992!
I've spent too long sleuthing, guy on radio announces Tay FM thing on Monday 9th January 1995 Mega Drive advert meaning maybe still in 1994. But then the Blockbuster advert later cleary sets it in the Year 2000. So I have no clear conclusion beyond the guy made his own audio and stitched some mixture of eras in.
@@jamesc8523 The new Overgate building from 8.00 mins didn't start getting built until 1998 and opened March 2000. It looks quite near completion so 1999 looks quite accurate to me. Also car at 19.05 is a 'R' reg which came out August 1997 until July 1998. The guy clearly states he has put his own audio to the video which is why it doesn't tie up.
If you read the disclaimer at the start it would have saved you a lot of bother. The guy clearly states he has put his own audio to the video which is why it doesn't match up. The video footage is 1999 for sure.
"The original videos had classical music so I replaced it with engine sounds, era appropriate music and some archived radio Tay jingles and adverts I found online to help give it a realistic atmosphere as if you were there."
@@neozeed8139 I hear what you’re saying - I don’t think anywhere was selling new Megadrives by ‘99. The vehicles in the video point to it being late ‘90s though - not least the gold Mk2 Renault Clio around the 10:30 mark (released in ‘98), and the P reg lorry (August ‘96 onwards) in clear view around the 14:20 mark. There are plenty of other cars visible (Ford Ka, Mk 4 Fiestas, mk2 Rover 400s, a Daihatsu Grand Move, and a Renault Scenic) that were only sold after ‘95 or ‘96. I can’t be sure, but I think there’s even a maroon Audi A4 estate on an S plate at one point. Maybe the audio isn’t the same vintage as the visuals?
@@chethemerc7841 I don't see how boasting about breaking the law is amusing. As a cyclist I'm sick of arrogant drivers like you putting people's lives in danger. You should have your license taken away.
@@jinxterx i could go a lot faster now with the cars i have. I did it when i was 19 im 45 now. Although i still loath greenie weirdo cyclists. Buy a car you freak instead of pissing everyone on the road off.

Dundee is the only city in Scotland worse than Aberdeen, despite Aberdeen being voted the UKs most miserable city. No wonder 95 percent of Scots live in Edinburgh and Glasgow. There is nothing in the North of Scotland.
I like the old cars and the old music playing. Obviously it wasn’t old then as I’m watching this in 2024 but you know what I mean. Fantastic.
Nice to see the sky like it used to be...
Love old films and look at those cars! 🐶🏴☀️🌲
Great footage and our Scotland!
The amount of tress!!! Bring them back!!
Make trees grow again. 2024.
What a fantasist video! Total nostalgia.thanks for upload❤
Awesome! Brings back memories of me working on the roof at the Overgate shopping mall!
That Blockbuster advert was great. Awesome footage
Drove all the way to Dundee in my bare feet once. Gorged myself on one of those big toblerones. Rock bottom
Ah ha!
@@WalterWhiteJP back of the net!
Brilliant thanks.

2023 and the roads are full of potholes, in some places you can barely see the markings... definitely looked better back then🤔
Definitely, no overflowing bins weeds everywhere and dirty streets.
Bloody hell I was still driving my 2.0 capri then😂 Im mondeo man now.

Load of Cavaliers still about then. Opel Manta on the left just into the Ferry too.
Or distracted by silly bl00dy big touchscreen displays in cars.
Funnily enough, seen 2 Cavs in Dundee yesterday within a few mins of one another. Only one of them currently on the road though.
I remember going through Dundee on the way to Aberdeen. That gas holder is not there anymore.
Yes it is that’s it when it’s full when empty it goes all way down so less noticeable. Pass it most days.
Didn't dundee and all of planet earth get blown up in 1992?
No unicorns. Undead or otherwise. Must be fake.
Dundee should have...
must be another timeline
I got whiplash from that BlockBuster advert

The Kate Bush bit was a trailer for the Ward on the wireless show. Loved Tay am.
Definitely, when local radio was local!
The radio is edited in no? The original video this was taken from just had music
Tay AM was absolutely insufferable.
3:12 station ident
Looks alot busier with people
Bridge tolls, no potholes and trees! Some things have progressed for the better but not all.
I love 1992 and 1999 Scotland
whats that last song?
And I love 2000
And 1912 and 1999 and 1992 Dundee

Was the Tay Bridge toll only one way?
Intially a toll both ways then one way then toll’s on all road bridges abolished in Scotland early noughties.
I love 1970
That was a drive thru the Ferry not Dundee
15 min in Dundee and 5 in Ferry...
@@cucurezenita @9:30 and its the middle of Dundee, but the AD places it in 1992, not 1999. No way toysrus is selling megadrives in 1999 for £129.94.

Not funny.
