Very central playcentre in Dundee which served a really functional purpose, giving children and…read moreyoung people days out and fun times. The centre itself was well laid out and practical, resembling a large bungalow; several rooms which were fitted out as various play areas of different descriptions, a main reception and seating area with a kitchen off it inside the main door, and a group of offices on the other side of the building where the various staff members and support workers were based. Very practical, colourful and well laid out place. However, the one major negative thing about this centre - and the thing which prevents it from getting 5 stars here - was the frequent professional misconduct of the manager of Barnardo's DFST, a certain Dave Anderson. Under Dave Anderson, Barnardo's Dundee Family Support Team was very badly run behind the scenes, with a rampant internal blame culture; many excellent staff and support workers were unfairly blamed for innocuous incidents or misunderstandings and wrongfully dismissed from their jobs over time, with twisted cover stories being manufactured to justify their mistreatment and defame their character at the same time. In addition, job interviews and recruitments often seemed rigged, with Mr Anderson often not giving due consideration to the skills and talents of some applicants. In particular, one talented volunteer who will remain nameless put in 6 years of excellent volunteering work for Barnardo's, but was frequently passed over for promotion to paid positions within the Project, then got falsely accused of "unhealthy thinking" and advised to take a break from volunteering for a year and obtain a medical all-clear from his GP on returning, just because the volunteer had Dyspraxia and displayed Dyspraxic thought processes, which Mr Anderson judged in a thoroughly bigoted manner. The only one guilty of unhealthy thinking there was Dave Anderson himself, who disgracefully labelled a learning disability an "illness", thus proving his own inability to do his job, either as a manager at Barnardo's or as a social worker. It's pretty clear that his repeated mismanagement and professional misconduct were also responsible for the Project's eventual closure in 2014; a sad way for it to go.

We had a tour ($5 US) of their production facilities and I learn a lot - not too much info to be overwhelming; enough to be interesting. The kids enjoyed it too. Adults get a tasting at the end (kids get juice). Glad we stopped. Memorable.

This bridge brings you to the top of the hill with some beautiful views over the River Tay and very attractive Victorian gravestones. It's very peaceful and pretty and would make for an excellent final resting place. This is a popular place for dog walkers but remember to keep them on a lead! There are public toilets near the Glamis Road roundabout entrance.
