Tour Scotland travel video of a Bakers window on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and small group trip to Dundee, Scotland. Lots of excellent food on display in this window in the city centre of Dundee. Scottish cookery has always differed from culinary endeavours south of the Border. The Romans influenced English cooking but as they did not venture far into Scotland, historically Scottish cuisine developed slowly. Scottish cooking methods advanced through the influence of the French at the court of Mary Queen of Scots and later through the elaborate dishes served to English lords with Scottish estates. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert acquired Balmoral in the 19th century and whilst they brought with them the rich food of the English court, they also liked to serve traditional Scottish dishes to important visitors.

Old photograph of tenements in Dundee, Scotland. When the jute industry took off in the late 19th Century, Dundee grew very quickly and the mill workers were housed in cramped tenement housing. Some lived three to a room, many in single ends or two room tenement flats. Toilets were usually outside and living conditions were often dirty and sometimes infested with vermin.
