Old Photographs Lochee Dundee Scotland

Old photograph of Lochee, Dundee, Scotland. An area of Dundee, Scotland. Until the 19th century, it was a separate town which developed in the 18th century with handloom weaving and in the 19th century as a centre of textile industries, such as spinning, bleaching, dyeing and linen manufacture. By the 20th century, the area had been surrounded by the growing city of Dundee. The name 'Lochee' means 'eye of the loch', referring to the town's location on the banks of Loch Balgay which was drained in the 16th century for farmland.
