It is very small and is partly pedestrianized. Shore Terrace is *shown* but not named on the Google maps I looked at ... nor on "Streetmap". I see the street name on the corner of the Caird Hall at Castle Street on Street Level and if you put the manekin in the carpark behind the Caird Hall , Google tells you you are in Shore Terrace. > > p.s.

I have missed that map, it is not used in "Lost Dundee" but is of great assistance in identifying some of the streets described in the early chapters. Yes. what we now know as Dock Street is called "Shore" beside what came to be know as King William IV dock, the later Earl Gray Dock is still tidal. To add to the confusion, "Lost Dundee" says that the waterfront was destroyed by a tidal wave in 15- something-or-other but was reclaimed ... and called "New Shore". Yyonne must now be entirely confused! Cheers, Bruce D
