Dundee Dragon

The Dundee Dragon is based on a local legend of the Nine Maidens and can be found guarding the east end of the High Street.

The sculpture was the concept of Alistair Smart, a lecturer at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art. Unfortunately Alistair passed away just before he was offered the commission after winning a limited competition. It was Alistair’s family who requested that Tony Morrow, an ex-student of Alistair’s, take over the artwork, who furthered the design into this awe-inspiring sculpture.

The Dundee Dragon was commissioned by the Dundee Partnership.
