10 years ago I was the 8th busiest burger van in Dundee. After a decade of work, listening to the punters, menu experimentation, spatula practice, meditation, positive mental attitude (PMA), fearless self-reflection, daring to dream, and two deaths, I am up to 6th. Never give up.

We got married in Broughty Ferry, fifty-odd years ago, in very pleasant surroundings. We chose Broughty Ferry as being somewhere geographically between our family abodes (Caithness and Midlothian), and also the Broughty Ferry minister, who carried out the service, was a family friend. Another family friend, on driving south from Caithness, arranged to pick up the wedding cake, which was baked by Walkers of Aberlour (now more famous for its shortbread). But as the evening before the wedding wore on at the hotel in which we were all staying, there was no sign of the cake-carrier, and the hotel staff were making emergency plans to get a substitute cake. But the cake (eventually) arrived - and all turned out OK.
So - very pleasant memories of Broughty Ferry.

My parents were married at St Margarets Barnhill nearly 70 years ago , https://www.bsmchurch.org.uk/ ,with their reception at what was more recently the Cambustay ( apparently demolished this year) but in their day I think it was called the Kittiewake.
