Old Photograph Passenger Bus Garage Lochee Dundee Scotland

Old photograph of a Passenger Bus Garage in Lochee in Dundee, Scotland. Lochee is an area in the west of Dundee, Scotland. Until the 19th century, it was a separate town, but was eventually surrounded by the expanding Dundee. It is notable for being home to Camperdown Works, which was the largest jute production site in the world. Many immigrants were attracted to the area by the prospect of employment in the city's jute mills. By 1855, there were 14,000 immigrants from Ireland in Dundee, most of whom stayed in Lochee, or Little Tipperary as it would come to be known. In 1904, the Lochee Harp football club was formed by Lochee Irishmen as a means of recreation for the poor immigrants; the club still plays to this day Lochee is still regarded as Dundee's Irish quarter.
