Old Photograph Yachting Pond Stobswell Dundee Scotland

Housing was developed in the area by the city's " jute barons " in the 19th century to accommodate workers in the textile mills in the area and the city. In 1856, the East Dundee Poorhouse was built in the area. After the inception of the National Health Service, the poorhouse was renamed The Rowans and later became a hospital and care-home for the elderly.
