At 8 years of age I also remember along the roadside of Dudhope Castle, there were monkeys and parrots in enclosures. I still carry the scar at the age of 76, having been nipped by one of the monkeys.</p> Hawkhill 1939-1945 Animals Childhood Derek Fonteyn Hawkhill Fri, 04 Mar 2011 14:45:12 +0000 lynne.davidson 602 at http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk
