Update on Stagecoach bus service 39 #dundeewestend

Further to the good news we reported at the end of August that, from this month, bus service 39 would have some journeys going via the far west end of Perth Road around Millbay Terrace, Millbay Gardens and Clovis Duveau Drive – an area completely lacking bus services in recent times.

We are pleased to say this welcome re-routing has now taken place. The first journey going towards Kingoodie in the morning is just after 0941 running until 1741 with return journeys into the city centre starting around 0915 running until 1615. The timetable is given below.

The City Council has agreed with our request that it works with Stagecoach to promote the service. We have also asked that the bus stop city centre-bound on Perth Road at Clovis Duveau Drive is reinstated, of benefit to both local residents and also visitors to the Riverside View Care Home.



Dundee Art Society event #dundeewestend

This month’s free talk at the Roseangle Gallery home of the Dundee Art Society is by the very talented artist Hilke MacIntyre.


It takes place tomorrow – Friday 21st October – from 7pm to 9pm.

Hilke specialises in ceramic reliefs, linocuts and paintings preferring colour, pattern, simplified shapes and abstracted spaces. 

She enjoys developing new ideas to combine these elements in pictures of life around her and inspiration from the ‘primitive’ art, contemporary design and nature of early 20th century art.


System Upgrades

Dear blog user,

The service provider I use for this website used Google Feed Burner to send you individual emails of the daily blog. Google have closed this down.

I am afraid the new system we are installing to replace the old one requires you to re-register. If you would like to, please put your email address into the ‘’free email alerts’’ box any time  from tomorrow ( Thursday 20th October ) onwards to continue to receive the email version.

Yours sincerely

John Redwood
