As regular readers will know I have been campaigning for a long-term sustainable use for Camperdown House for a number of years. Camperdown House belongs to the people of Dundee and they should have the ability to visit the house. I also think that opening the house would add another dimension to a visit to the park.
Dundee City Council has been marketing Camperdown House for some time and apparently there has been some interest in it recently. I know that many many people were delighted last summer to visit the house when afternoon tea was being served by students from Dundee and Angus College. I hope that the council will facilitate future ventures like this by the college.
I am not opposed to a commercial use for Camperdown House but there has to be some element of free, or at least relatively inexpensive, access to the house for the public of Dundee, who after all own the building.
Perhaps it could be a coffee shop or tea room, or maybe a few rooms which tell the story of the house or of the Battle of Camperdown and Admiral Duncan.
I want to see action on this, there have been too many false starts at Camperdown House.
