Old travel Blog photograph of people beside the Princess Alexandria Fountain on Dock Street, Dundee, Scotland. Erected in memory to Queen Alexandra. The fountain is inscribed Alexandra Fountain, presented to the community by William Longair, Lord Provost of the City from 1905 to 1908. Dundee was second only to Edinburgh in terms of commercial prosperity. Most early trade was by sea and Dundee was ideally located on shipping routes to and from the Baltic and North European ports due to being closer than Edinburgh by two days sailing.
