University of Dundee Candlelit Carol Service


The University of Dundee’s annual service of Carols by Candlelight will take place tonight at 5pm and will return to St Paul’s Cathedral at 1 High Street.

The service takes the form of nine lessons/poems and traditional carols.    The singing will be led by the University Choirs who will also contribute a number of choral pieces.    There will be a reception with mince pies and mulled wine after the service.

University Chaplain, Rev Dr Fiona Douglas says, “The Carol Service is one of the highlight of the University year when staff and students, their families, and the local community come together to mark Christmas.”

All welcome!

Getting things done – Blackness Library #dundeewestend

A resident recently suggested it might be helpful in advertising events within Blackness Library is there was a noticeboard outside advertising activities within the library.

I took this excellent idea up with the Head of Library and Information Services and she has responded positively as follows :

“We are in agreement that this is a great idea.  Budget and planning permission may be hurdles, but we will look into this and see what is achievable.”

I will keep residents updated with progress.  


Support Daniel today!
