DC THOMSON'S KINGSWAY BUILDING

I visited DC Thomson's Kingsway offices today.

As the weather was beautiful and sunny again, I thought I would take some photos of the pictures of Dennis the Menace, Desperate Dan and Oor Wullie that now adorn two sides of the building. Hopefully you'll get a sense of the scale of them, and how fun they are.

Here we are approaching the building on the Mid Craigie Road (misspelt Mid Craige Road on the street sign)...

Here's Oor Wullie at the front of the building. His bucket can fly in this depiction and is smashing its way out the window...

And here's a closer photo of Dennis and Dan...

The characters are all reading the local papers put out by DC Thomson.


Mid Craigie is also where I went to primary school. The building was just across from the DC Thomson offices, but is long gone now. The school gates remain though...

To finish off, here's the street adjacent to the school gates...
