Tour Scotland 4K early Summer travel video, with Scottish bagpipes music, of a road trip drive through the city to the Dental Hospital in Park Place on visit to Dundee, Tayside, Britain, United Kingdom. The Dental Hospital has its origins in a dental club formed by the University College of Dundee in 1909. The dental hospital itself was established by Sir George Baxter when he rented to flats in two villas in Park Place in 1914. The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948. The villas were replaced with a large stone building, designed by Findlay, Stewart & Robbie, on the same site in 1952. An extension in the form of a modern tower block, designed by Robbie & Wellwood, was opened the Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother in 1968. The institution was intended to provide dental treatment for the poor for free or at a nominal charge. It is readily accessible from the centre of the city. One of the hospital's first activities was the treatment of soldiers of the regular and territorial armies in the first months of the first world war. In 1916 the activities of the hospital were extended to include a Dental School, offering a dental diploma awarded by the University of St. Andrews in Fife. The Eden Project wants the site of a former Dundee gasworks to be the location for its first attraction in Scotland. It said the attraction would include walled gardens and draw on the history of Dundee's Nine Incorporated Trades. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome.
