Tour Scotland late Autumn travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish music, mostly down Perth Road to the city centre on ancestry visit to Dundee, Tayside. The modern city centre of Dundee is still divided into the six medieval thoroughfares: the Seagait, Murraygait, Nethergait, Overgait, Wellgait and the Cowgait, Gait being a Scots word for street, which all remain today, although the Overgate and Wellgate are now enclosed shopping centres. Many of the medieval closes were demolished in the late 19th century to make way for larger and grander Victorian streets. However the area to the north of the city centre between Meadowside, Ward Road and the Marketgait is mostly based on a grid system with wide avenues and crescents, due to much of this area being planned and designed in the Victorian era.
