At the same time it is also the story of the great characters of Dundee, from Graham of Claverhouse ("Bonnie Dundee") to William McGonagall and the elusive Piper o' Dundee, as well as the rich tapestry of worthies and rogues of the streets.
Full of humour and life, the songs, anecdotes and stories capture the energy and character of Dundee in a way that no narrative can, and the result is a fascinating picture of Dundee and its people over the centuries. This should become the definitive collection. For a more detailed list of the songs featured in Songs and Ballads of Dundee, click here.
